A device for producing a desired change. : . : . : . : . : . : . : . : . : . : . : . : . : . : . : In our 547th issue: * EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT ASKS EU ACTA NEGOTIATORS TO PROTECT CITIZENS' FUNDAMENTAL RIGHTS In a victory for democracy and transparency, the European Parliament adopted Written Declaration 12 (WD 12) on the proposed Anti-Counterfeiting Trade Agreement earlier this week. While the European Parliament must give a "consent vote" for the EU to be bound by ACTA, WD 12 should be seen by EU negotiators as a clear statement about how the MEPs will approach that vote. The next, and possibly final, round of ACTA negotiations take place in Japan later this month.

In cases like these, federal law -- specifically Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act -- shields Internet forums like craigslist from liability. https://www.eff.org/press/archives/2010/09/02 : . : . : . : . : . : . : . : . : . : . : . : . : . : . : EFF Updates * Is Sarah Palin a Computer Criminal? Vanity Fair suggests that Sarah Palin's distinctive voice on Facebook and Twitter is actually someone else's. EFF Senior Staff Attorney Marica Hoffman takes a look at Facebook's ridiculous and dangerous claims that terms of use violations like this run afoul of computer intrusion laws, such as the federal Computer Fraud and Abuse Act. https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2010/09/ sarah-palin-computer-criminal * Beyond "Censored": What Craigslist's "Adult Services" Decision Means for Free Speech After years of pressure from law enforcement officials, Internet classified ad web site craigslist appears to have bowed to demands to remove its "Adult Services" section, which critics charged encouraged prostitution and other sex-related crimes. While no one (including craigslist) disputes that sex trafficking is a reprehensible practice that should be vigorously opposed, law enforcement officials should not be permitted to bully and dragoon private web site operators into becoming de facto censors. https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2010/09/ craigslist-beyond-censored * Righthaven's Brand of Copyright Trolling Copyright trolls are nothing new, and Righthaven is just the latest group of lawyers to try to turn copyright litigation into a business model.
