EFF Bootcamp on Web 2.0 Legal Issues

EFF is hosting a special Bootcamp on Web 2.0 legal issues on Wednesday, October 10th at Fenwick and West Silicon Valley Center in Mountain View.

EFF is hosting a one-day session for Web 2.0 workers who handle issues arising from users and user-generated content. From DMCA to CDA to ECPA, the law surrounding internet content can be confusing, especially for the folks who have to decide on the fly whether to let something stay up or take it down, or whether to give their customer’s name to the FBI agent on the phone. Let us help.

UPDATE: EFF has just announced that Google Associate General Counsel Alex Macgillivray is going to speak at the Bootcamp and Google will be offering scholarships for people to attend the event for free.
