Danny O’Brien and Jason Schultz
Danny O’Brien
Danny O’Brien is the Activism Coordinator for the EFF. His job is to help EFF’s membership in making their voice heard: in government and regulatory circles, in the marketplace, and with the wider public.
Jason Schultz
Jason Schultz is a Staff Attorney specializing in intellectual property and reverse engineering. He currently leads EFF’s Patent Busting Project. Prior to joining EFF, Schultz worked at the law firm of Fish & Richardson P.C., where he spent most of his time invalidating software patents and defending open source developers in law suits. Jason maintains a personal blog at lawgeek.net.
ABSTRACT
Everything you wanted to know about the Electronic Frontier Foundation, but were under a federal court order not to discuss. Activism co-ordinator Danny O’Brien and attorney Jason Schultz explain the mechanics behind how the digital rights group works, give status updates on recent cases (including the Sony BMG debacle, the suit against AT&T for collaborating with wiretaps, and the EFF’s patent-busting project), and give insider revelations about the EFF’s work against the broadcast flag and for fair use. Plenty of time for questions – no warrants necessary.
