[SIGCIS-Members] New Book from CBI Research Fellow Prof. Gerardo Con Díaz --Everyone Breaks These Laws: How Copyright Made the Online World (AND Con was promoted to Full Prof. & became Chair!)

[Eileen Buckholtz]

Congratulations Con on your promotion and the exciting new book.  Back in
1998 while I was a Brookings Fellow for Sen John Kerry I had the
opportunity to give input to the Digital Millennium Copyright Act.  A lot
has evolved since then.

eCheers,

Eileen Buckholtz
