# YLEM Forum: Artists, Freedom and Privacy Wed May 15 7:30 PM
McBean Theater, The Exploratorium 3601 Lyon St FREE
http://www.ylem.org issues and legislation affecting
artists, including intellectual property and the Hollings bill.
Will future machines prevent faithful duplication of images
as well as music and film? What about fair use and copying
ones' own work? Another concern is privacy vs. marketing and security
information-gathering. Is a certain amount of anonymity
necessary for free thought?
"Why Johnny Can't Encrypt: Social Aspects and Barriers to Adoption of
Privacy Technology" is the subject of Matt Hamrick's talk. Use of
privacy-enhancing technology has been compared to the use of seat
belts or condoms: It's there to protect against infrequent crises.
Seat belt usage is nearly universal in the United States, but
usage of even the simplest privacy technology is limited to a
small percentage of Internet users. The question is, why?
Matt Hamrick spends his day developing security
features for mobile handheld devices. He's worked as a
Cryptographer, an Engineering Manager, a Bail Bondsman,
and a Marine. When not prodding cell phones or
