State of the Net 2012: Patent Warfare: Will Your Next Smartphone Get Caught in The Crossfire? | A focused panel discussion on the recently enacted America Invents Act, which brought about sweeping reform of the nation's patent laws for the first time in nearly 60 years and the Mobile device (e.g. smartphones & tablets) market, in which companies continue to spend billions of dollars to acquire massive portfolios of patents through mergers and acquisitions. With patent infringement litigation occurring at a frenetic pace in multiple countries and jurisdictions around the globe, companies are readily using these lawsuits to force competitors to remove their products from the global market. In the U.S., the International Trade Commission has emerged as a central battleground in the patent wars, raising questions about the role of that tribunal in patent litigation. Patents have become technological currency at the same time they've become weaponized. The emergence of "patent trolls" has only further changed the market landscape and dynamic. How will the public be affected by these litigations as new mobile devices continue to rollout? Will a competitor force your favorite mobile device off the market? Our panel of experts will debate how effective the America Invents Act will be in the midst of this maelstrom as well as share their thoughts on what patent issues lie on the horizon, yet to be addressed. | Free | View In iTunes | |

State of the Net 2012: Geolocation, Jones and the Reasonable Expectation of Privacy | Just a few weeks ago, the Supreme Court heard oral arguments in U.S. v. Jones, in which law enforcement used geolocation technology to monitor a criminal suspect on public roads. Although the justices may fail to provide definitive answers, the case raises profound questions about how technologies such as GPS, facial recognition and other tracking technologies -- both private and public -- are transforming the nature of privacy. Further, the Court may or may not examine the term of art "reasonable expectation of privacy" (REP), which is often cited in almost any digital privacy discussion. For instance, is it reasonable to expect privacy from tracking our movements on city streets when we broadcast our location on FourSquare and Gowalla to hundreds of our followers? Is it reasonable to expect that the FBI won't create dossiers of our private lives when anyone on Match.com can compile a dossier on his or her blind date on Saturday night? If our email providers can provide advertisements within the body of our emails does that mean that we can reasonably expect the government to access the content of our personal messages? Is our normative acceptance of these new commercial technologies -- technologies that the Founding Fathers could never have imagined -- transforming our constitutional privacy rights? And, what about other technologies such as facial recognition, drone technology and cookies? Our panel of experts will debate the major implications of the Jones case and also look at the effect our adoption of new Internet technologies is having on commercial and constitutional privacy. | Free | View In iTunes | |

State of the Net 2012: Collecting Online Sales Taxes: Should Congress Weigh In? | The debate over Internet sales taxes continues. This issue affects large and small retailers, states, as well as consumers. Quill v. North Dakota, a ruling issued by the U.S. Supreme Court in 1992, established the premise that retailers are not required to collect sales taxes in those states where they lack a physical presence. However, the court explicitly stated that Congress could overrule the decision through subsequent legislation. State and local governments have since tried to persuade Congress to overturn this Court ruling and mandate that all online retailers assess and collect a sales tax in all states. Several legislative initiatives have been introduced in Congress on this issue, the most recent being the Marketplace Fairness Act, which was introduced on November 9, 2011. Proponents for overturning the Supreme Court's ruling on this issue have argued that the current tax framework enables online retailers to maintain an unfair advantage over brick-and-mortar retailers, especially in the case of small businesses. Opponents have countered that levying a tax on online sales would instead hurt small businesses the most. Regardless, both sides agree that this legislation has enormous implications for the Internet and the nation's tax structure. As part of enacting this reform measure, states would be required to simplify their sales tax codes to be able to collect tax from online retailers. Our diverse panel of experts will debate and discuss whether States should require online retailers to collect sales taxes, and what it means for the Internet business model. | Free | View In iTunes | |

State of the Net 2012: Privacy Prognostication: Where Is Privacy Law Heading Towards the 113th Congress? | The roil around privacy law and regulation continues into 2012. The Federal Trade Commission just announced a major consent order with Facebook. Work continues on industry self reguatory efforts in the advrtising space. Members of Congress continue to offer privacy bills in a piecemeal fashion on everything from kids' privacy to Do Not Track. Technical working groups and browser companies continue to work on actualizing some "do not track" concepts online. And both the Federal Trade Commission and the Department of Commerce are writing papers that will propose ways to address consumer privacy in the coming weeks. Our panel of experts will offer their thoughts on what all this activity on privacy means for Congressional policymaking. | Free | View In iTunes | |

State of the Net 2012: The Two Edges of the Global Internet Freedom Sword: Can Internet Technologies Promote Free Expression Wi | On December 8, 2011 Secretary of State Clinton delivered a speech at the Conference on Internet Freedom in the Netherlands that presented a set of extraordinarily challenges for technology companies: How can Internet technologies be used to promote freedom while resisting government pressure to help with oppression. While admitting that there are no easy answers - and no set of "instructions" forthcoming - she urged "smart companies" to act now to prevent their products and services from being used as dual use tools of innovation and of oppression. A question before our expert panel will be how this veritable Internet freedom arms race will end, and can freedom or innovation survive it. Another question for the panel will whether some larger governance body will be needed to provide a framework for global Internet business?. | Free | View In iTunes | |

Warehousing Consumers' Online Travels To Catch Child Predators and Terrorists: Privacy Implications? | Expected legislation in Congress would require Web sites and Internet service providers to retain the records of their customers' online activities for a period of time -- often referred to as "data retention." Law enforcement officials, including the Department of Justice and most state attorneys general, are proponents of such data warehousing to aid in law enforcement attempts to apprehend terrorists and child predators. Many privacy advocates oppose legislation because of the potential risks associated with unauthorized persons gaining easy access to logs of consumers' personal information or potential for misuse of information by the government.
