In contrast to yesterday’s Hillary Clinton speech about Internet Freedom, today, Feb. 16 2011,  the United States Senate Committee on the Judiciary has scheduled a hearing entitled “Targeting Websites Dedicated To Stealing American Intellectual Property”  at 10:00 am EST (1500 UTC). This is a followup to last year’s shelving of the COICA act and the recent DHS-ICE site seizures – which some consider to be of dubious legality. Witnesses include representatives of the Authors Guild, Go Daddy, Verizon, and Visa. There will be a webcast. http://www.isoc-ny.org/p2/?p=1767 -- --------------------------------------------------------------- Joly MacFie  218 565 9365 Skype:punkcast WWWhatsup NYC - http://wwwhatsup.com  http://pinstand.com - http://punkcast.com   VP (Admin) - ISOC-NY - http://isoc-ny.org ---------------------------------------------------------------
