GrepLaw Interviews Yale's Ernest Miller on DRM, Privacy and Hemingway

GrepLaw | Ernest Miller on DRM, Privacy and Hemingway

GrepLaw is a blog at Harvard Law School's Berkman Center for Internet & Society. Ernest Miller is at Yale Law, and has been an editor at LawMeme, a law and technology blog there.

Miller explains for GrepLaw readers the Information Society Project at Yale Law School, and opines that blogs "are great places for law students to begin to find their voice and practice writing in this new medium. They will also be the center of more and more legal debate and analysis"

About the key issues of cyberlaw for the coming year, Miller tells GrepLaw: "The intersection of copyright law and the First Amendment is perhaps the key modern issue in this field. Until the theories of copyright and First Amendment can be reconciled, the law will continue to be confusing and come up with strange results. I am optimistic, though not overly so, that some movement on this front has already begun."

He has a lot to say about DRM and fair use, privacy and many other issues. An extended interview well worth reading.
