Ana] PRIVACY LECTURE SERIES <http://privacy.openflows.org> PAMELA SAMUELSON PRIVACY DIMENSIONS OF INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY Thursday, January 17, 2002 6:45-8:00PM 140 St. George, Room 728 Faculty of Information Studies (building adjacent to Robarts Library) University of Toronto The lectures are free of charge and you do NOT have to register. Abstract As the content industries expand the scope of intellectual property (IP) and the technological means for enforcement, important other social values are negatively affected such as freedom of speech, freedom of research and privacy. In this talk Pam Samuelson, will focus on the right to privacy and how it is affected by the emerging new copyright regime, for instance, how do we balance individuals' right control their private sphere with corporate rights to control their property and combat piracy? Are new systems, which force users to license content and to establish a permanent relation with the right holders, for example in Windows XP, an intrusion into the user's private sphere? Can the issue of privacy be used to fight the seemingly limitless expansion of rights of IP holders?
