Illegal Internet Downloads: 3 Strikes and You’re Out?

There are no quiet days here at CDT and today is no exception.

Our CEO Leslie Harris has a guest column on ABC’s "Ahead of the Curve" discussing the extreme measures some countries are taking to curb digital copyright issues and how they may impact domestic policy on this matter.  The piece focuses on the severity of international responses to illegal file downloads and asks whether or not it is appropriate to ban someone from the Internet for downloading someone else’s music.

Additionally, we are still excited about the launch of our newest privacy campaign – "Take Back Your Privacy".  The campaign is off to a great start with a lot of buzz and momentum as Internet users all over the country are signing up for the campaign and standing up to demand better privacy controls.  Join them and spread the word!
