Digital Radio (Intellectual Property)
|
Digital radio is for the music industry, that they do not want your fair use rights to develop in the digital age. Instead, they are asking federal bureaucrats to force innovators to hobble their products, leaving you with something no better than the cassette decks of the 1970s.

|
|
|
Net Neutrality
|
Anyone who watched John Hodgman's famous Daily Show rant knows what Net Neutrality means as an abstract idea. But what will it mean when it makes the transformation from idealistic principle into real-world regulations? 2010 will be the year we start to find out, as the Federal Communications Commission begins a Net Neutrality rulemaking process.
|
|
|
Patents
|
While patent rights were designed to promote investment, public disclosure, and most importantly, useful innovation, the patent system is often abused. In the past decade, the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office (PTO) has been inundated with applications for so-called "inventions" that are neither innovative nor useful.
|
|
|
Trusted Computing
|
Computer security is undeniably important, and as new vulnerabilities are discovered and exploited, the perceived need for new security solutions grows. "Trusted computing" initiatives propose to solve some of today's security problems through hardware changes to the personal computer.
|
|
|
Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA)
|
the DMCA and DRM have done nothing to stop "Internet piracy." Yet the DMCA has become a serious threat that jeopardizes fair use, impedes competition and innovation, chills free expression and scientific research, and interferes with computer intrusion laws.
|
|
|
No Downtime for Free Speech Campaign
|
Unfortunately, copyright owners often object to these uses, and may look for ways to take them offline via the legal system. A copyright cease-and-desist letter to your webhost or ISP may be all it takes to make your online speech disappear from the Internet — even when the legal claims are transparently bogus.
|
|
|
Terms Of (Ab)Use
|
Using a TOS, online service providers can dictate their legal relationship with users through private contracts, rather than rely on the law as written. In the unregulated and unpredictable world of the Internet, such arrangements often provide the necessary ground rules for how various online services should be used.
|
|
|
Anti-Counterfeiting Trade Agreement
|
ACTA has several features that raise significant potential concerns for consumers’ privacy and civil liberties, for innovation and the free flow of information on the Internet, legitimate commerce, and for developing countries’ ability to choose policy options that best suit their domestic priorities and level of economic development.
|
|
|
Broadcasting Treaty
|
Proponents say they need this treaty to prevent "signal piracy." But the treaty goes well beyond that by creating rights to control "fixations" of broadcasts that only apply after you've received and recorded a signal. EFF and an international coalition of NGOs support a real treaty against signal piracy. We've drafted a treaty that does just that, but treaty proponents have refused to adopt it.
|
|
|
Development Agenda
|
Development issues are the international community's most daunting challenge. Despite international agreement to ensure the transfer of technology to developing countries (recognized in Articles 7 and 8 of the TRIPS Agreement), a significant knowledge gap and digital divide continue to separate the wealthy nations from the poor.
|
|
|
EFF Europe
|
EFF has hundreds of donors and thousands of active supporters throughout Europe. As part of our expanded international work, EFF has been increasing its participation in European issues, providing publicity and logistical support for combatting bad European tech policy in co-operation with the many digital rights groups across Europe to fight effectively for consumers' and technologists' interests.
|
|
|
Free Trade Agreement of the Americas
|
This time, however, there's a twist: the provisions will be even more restrictive. How so? Like the DMCA, the draft of the Free Trade Area of the Americas (FTAA) IP chapter contains a provision that would require all FTAA countries to ban the circumvention of technological protection measures.
|
|
|
World Intellectual Property Organization
|
The World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO) is the UN agency responsible for treaties involving copyright, patent, and trademark laws. WIPO can be a force for progressive change, helping the world take into account public interest and development needs.

EFF has been asked to serve as a friend of the court in several of these applications, successfully showing judges how and why the government's arguments are baseless.
|
|
|
NSA Spying
|
News reports in December 2005 first revealed that the National Security Agency (NSA) has been intercepting Americans’ phone calls and Internet communications. Those news reports, plus a USA Today story in May 2006 and the statements of several members of Congress, revealed that the NSA is also receiving wholesale copies of their telephone and other communications records.
|
|
|
Locational Privacy
|
Modern communications mean most Americans today walk around with a beacon that transmits their location. Mobile phones register to a nearby tower as the owner moves through space and the phone company can collect that data in real time or retrospectively to physically place the phone with varying degrees of accuracy.
|
|
|
Online Behavioral Tracking
|
New web technology has created many unexpected ways for corporations to track your web activity without your knowledge. Countless advertising networks are able to secretly monitor you across multiple websites and build detailed profiles of your behavior and interests.

Pen Trap
|
EFF has submitted several FOIA requests to try to document the frequency of "pen trap" or "trap and trace" electronic surveillance in recent years.
|
|
|
Real ID
|
Real ID won't just cost you your privacy. The federal government didn't give the states funds to implement the law and overcome its many administrative burdens, so the billions of dollars in costs will be passed down to you in the form of increased DMV fees or taxes.
|
|
|
Radio Frequency Identification
|
Libraries, schools, the government, and private sector businesses are adopting radio frequency identification tags, or RFIDs — a technology that can be used to pinpoint the physical location of whatever item the tags are embedded in.

Google, Yahoo, MSN, AOL and other search engines record your search queries and maintain massive databases that reach into the most intimate details of your life. |
|
|
Search Incident to Arrest

EFF is working to help courts correctly apply the search incident to arrest doctrine to new technologies. Smart phones such as the iPhone and Blackberry contain vast amounts of personal data like emails, photos, contact lists, and text messages, as well as the capability to access more information over the Internet.
|
|
|
Travel Screening
|
The privacy invasions don't stop there. When you cross the U.S. border to come home, you could be singled out for a random, invasive search. A recent court decision allows border agents to search your laptop or other digital device and copy the contents without limitation.
|
|
|
E-Voting Rights
|
Twenty-three states still do not require a paper record of all votes, despite the demonstrated technical failures of e-voting machines in the 2004 presidential election -- including the complete loss of thousands of votes. In turn, voters cannot verify that the e-voting machines are recording their votes as intended, and election officials cannot conduct recounts.
|
|
|
FOIA Litigation for Accountable Government
|
FOIA Litigation for Accountable Government (FLAG) Project aims to expose the government's expanding use of new technologies that invade Americans' privacy. Through Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) requests, the project helps to protect individual liberties and hold the government accountable.
