		Many of the leading projects are subsidized academic works, which are justified by their contributions to scholarship, and the long-term economic sustenance of these efforts and their preservation are serious issues.
		One group of uses comes from consumer expectations established by the historic first sale doctrine: the ability to make unlimited use of something once purchased, to enjoy it for as long as the physical object lasts and technology is available to "play it," and the ability to resell or lend it.
		As relationships among publishers, consumers, and retailers change, and sales, shipping, and delivery costs become much smaller with network sales and electronic delivery, the changing economics will mean greater profits to publishers or electronic retailers, larger royalty shares to authors, and even reduced prices to consumers [33].

	Consumer Project on Technology
		Consumer protection programs in any country are an extensive array of laws, regulations and practices that touch on practical problems in commerce.
		In the area of consumer protection, there is no similar initiative, and indeed, one is hard pressed to identify international bodies that would be appropriate for this task.
		After all, consumer protection covers so many different issues that are administered by so many different agencies, there is no reason to assume that they could or should be addressed by a single body.

		For example, a consumer might buy a sweater and feel that the information on the embedded RFID tag is unexposed because she is carrying it home in a bag impregnated with a blocker device.

		I might add that there are already technologies under development to make it easier for the public to find firms by their true names, regardless of their domain name, further reducing confusion among like sounding domain names.
		It is also important to protect the right of parody and free speech in the allocation of domain names, and to protect the rights of individuals and non-commercial organizations.

	Consumer Activist Accuses Microsoft Of Avoiding Taxes, by Mike Godfrey, Tax-News.com, Washington
		Celebrated consumer activist Ralph Nader has accused technology behemoth Microsoft Corp of illegally avoiding taxes, according to a report in the Wall Street Journal on Monday.
		The WSJ report states that Mr Nader and James Love, who is the director of Nader's Consumer Project on Technology, sent a letter to Microsoft Chairman Bill Gates on Friday, detailing the 'inappropriate and we believe unlawful device' being used to avoid taxes.
		The Consumer Project on Technology believes that Microsoft should be subject to a relatively unknown section of the federal tax code known as the accumulated earnings tax, which is designed to prevent companies from hoarding excess cash in order to help their shareholders avoid taxes on dividend payments.

	STOP IDENTITY THEFT, SUPPORT HR 4151
		We are writing on behalf of the undersigned consumer and privacy organizations to commend you for introducing, along with Representatives Clement, DeLauro, and Sanders, the Identity Theft and Assumption Deterrence Act, HR 4151.
		H.R. 4151 recognizes that the consumers who have had their financial lives and credit records ruined, who have spent months writing letters, filing affidavits, and making phone calls, and, who in some cases, have been arrested for the crimes of the thieves, are, in fact, the real victims who deserve legal protection.
		Further, all consumers should get the right to a free credit report annually on request, as already provided by six states, to verify its accuracy and determine who has been accessing it.

	(ATN) Compulsory Licensing for Bridging the Gap--Treatment Access in Developing Countries: Interview with James Love, ...
		James Love of the Consumer Project on Technology--an organization started by Ralph Nader and based in Washington, D.C.--has proposed using "compulsory licensing" to help make modern pharmaceuticals available in poor countries.
		Compulsory licensing--already widely used in the United States itself and in most other countries, and allowed under certain conditions by GATT and other international trade agreements--means that a nation's government, for an important public purpose, can allow the domestic use of a patent or other intellectual property, under terms and conditions which that government sets.
		But several organizations and projects have recently begun working in this area, starting independently, often without even knowing about the others--a sign that the time is right for this issue to become more prominent.

		CPT's Jamie Love said, "It's ironic that in a meeting organized to help the poor, the main drug company proposals were to increase intellectual property protection and ask for the elimination of national price controls.
		At one point, Oxfam actually offered to give the industry a grant, since they were pleading poverty." The Way Forward -- Global Access to Essential Medicines The NGOs issued a series of recommendations to enhance research and development (RandD) and to ensure that intellectual property (IP) protection, serves public health needs rather than the reverse.

		The U.S. Department of Commerce's Technology Administration established a "dialog" with consumer groups worried about the impact of proposed digital rights management schemes during a sit-down Tuesday, but don't expect big changes in the agency's position on the need for DRM.
		Chris Israel, deputy assistant secretary for technology policy, said the Tuesday meeting "served as a good foundation for a dialog going forward," but the Technology Administration already had a good idea of the consumer and fair-use objections to DRM.
		The Technology Administration met with about 20 people, representing about a half dozen consumer groups, including the Electronic Frontier Foundation, the Free Software Foundation, Public Knowledge, the American Library Association, Consumer Project on Technology, Consumer's Union, and New York's Linux and fair use communities.

		Despite many critical assessments, this draft law has remained unbalanced in its approach, leaning far in favor of information sellers while sacrificing the protections that should be afforded to consumers.

	(ATN) Interview with James Love, Consumer Project on Technology
		The Army uses compulsory licenses in areas as diverse as satellite technology and night-vision glasses.
		An example of a zero royalty license is the U.S. Federal Trade Commission's requirement for open licensing of Dell's VL bus, a technology used in personal computers.
		On the other hand, if you want to use compulsory licensing not to prevent anti-competitive abuses, but for some other purpose such as making the air cleaner, or giving medicines to poor people, then you have to use the product in the country, not for export; the primary market has to be domestic.
