EFF HQ, 815 Eddy Street, San Francisco
This month we welcome Phil Lapsley who will be speaking about his great book "Exploding the Phone" and the interaction between telecommunication companies, telecoms and computer security laws, and what happens when curiosity and technologists' ethics face up against law enforcement, or the law itself.
We'll also take a look at Open Access week with EFF's Maira Sutton, and look at the case of Diego Gomez who faces up to eight years in prison and crippling monetary fines for sharing another academic's master's thesis with his colleagues online.
