	Edward Felten - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Felten (with help from the Electronic Frontier Foundation) sued the groups, requesting a declaratory judgement ruling that their publication of the paper would be legal.
		Felten presented his paper at the USENIX security conference in 2001.The Justice Department has offered Felten and other researchers assurances that the DMCA does not threaten their work, and stated that the legal threats against them were invalid.
		Felten essentially argued that the term "web browser" referred to iexplore.exe, which could be removed without impairing functionality, and Microsoft's attorneys argued that the "web browser" was the entire collection of DLLs for parsing URLs and HTML, executing HTTP requests, etc. and that these files were necessary to the normal operation of Windows.

	The Chronicle: 11/29/2002: Seeing Crucial Computer-Science Work Threatened, a Princeton Professor Takes on Congress
		Felten, 39, is among the most visible of a growing number of computer scientists in academe who are distressed by Congress's venture into regulating digital technology and who are speaking out about it.
		Felten's research did not violate the digital-copyright law since his goal is not to circumvent technologies that restrict access to digital works but rather to strengthen research into computer security.
		Felten recalls that he was about 13 years old when he started playing with the computers that his father had in the house for his business.

	Felten / Freedom To Tinker
		Felten served as a consultant to the Antitrust Division of the U.S. Department of Justice, and testified as a government witness in a highly-publicized episode that went to the heart of Microsoft's defense.
		Felten's group then wrote a paper on their research results, which was accepted for presentation at an academic conference in April 2001.
		Felten deliberately chose to use the "freedom to tinker" term to summarize his concept to avoid other terms that were already loaded with associated meanings in the public policy, legal, or technical domains.

	Definition of Edward Felten
		Felten has done a variety of computer security research, including groundbreaking work on proof-carrying authentication but he is perhaps best known for his paper on the SDMI challenge.
		In response to the threats, Felten (with help from the Electronic Frontier Foundation) sued the groups first, requesting a declaratory judgement ruling that their publication of the paper would be legal.
		The Justice Department has offered Felten and other researchers assurances that the DMCA does not threaten their work, and stated that the legal threats against them were invalid.

	IP: Ed Felten at Stanford... (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-07)
		Felten and research colleagues, under what they considered blatant legal threats, withdrew a paper about flaws in a digital anti-copying technology that they were scheduled to publish and discuss at a recent academic conference.
		And as Felten indicated Thursday at Stanford University, the stakes are enormous.
		Felten was one of many researchers who took up a music industry challenge last year to look closely at a technology the record companies are considering to prevent unauthorized copying of digitally recorded music.

		Ed was not allowed to see the e-mail, mentioning his site, that did not come from him, that was used to label him as a spammer.
		With help from his ISP, Ed eventually learned that the offending message was sent on a legitimate mailing list, and that the person who had complained was indeed subscribed to that list, and had erroneously reported the message as unsolicited.
		Everybody involved (Ed, his ISP, the person who filed the complaint, and the author of the message) agreed that the report was an error, and they all told this to SpamCop.

	Salon.com Technology \| Is the RIAA running scared?
		Felten, a cryptography expert from Princeton University, and several of his students took SDMI up on the offer, and soon announced that they had indeed cracked all four watermarks.
		Felten withdrew his paper from the conference, saying that "litigation is costly, time-consuming, and uncertain, regardless of the merits of the other side's case.
		Felten surely recognized this when he decided to be "intimidated" into pulling his paper (realizing, of course, that it was already being widely distributed on the Internet anyway).

	Rant, less » Blog Archive » Ed Felten on Net Neutrality
		Ed Felten has posted a really great technical overview on the Nuts and Bolts of Network Neutrality.
		Felten argues that the importance of quality of service guarantees, often a retort to proposals for network neutrality mandates, can be overemphasized.
		Felten suggests that voice applications don’t really need QoS, because the speed of the network is great enough in comparison that the “valleys” of speed are never too severe.

	The Technology Liberation Front: Hollaar on the DMCA, WIPO, and Ed Felten
		Felten and his colleagues sought “a Declaration from this Court that publication of the paper is lawful.” It then offered two specific arguments.
		The RIAA did send Felten a letter stating that publishing the paper “could subject you and you research team to actions under the Digital Millennium Copyright Act.” That would certainly have a chilling effect on my speech if I were in Felten’s shoes.
		Posted by: Ed Felten at June 26, 2006 2:07 PM Hollaar's article is poorly reasoned and filled with factual inaccuracies.

	Web.Com or Web.Con?
		Felten first informed the public about Web spoofing during a presentation at an academic conference at Rutgers University last December, the same month SIP published its white paper, "Web Spoofing: An Internet Con Game" (revised in February when SIP realized that there are no long-term protections for the Web from this sort of subversion).
		Born in Boston, Felten spent the bulk of his youth in Madison, Wisconsin, the son of a manager for a wholesale plumbing supply firm and a "stay-at-home mom" who was involved with volunteer groups.
		Felten was first introduced to computers (an Apple II) at age 12, before there was such a thing as a "computer geek." "Some friends and I wrote game programs and tried to learn about how the system worked," he says.

	Responding to Felten’s net neutrality paper \| Public Knowledge
		Ed Felten has just released a paper entitled “Nuts and Bolts of Network Neutrality” (pdf).
		Felten is to be commended for his thoughtful input on this important matter.
		Ed Felten knows more than most folks (myself included) about networking technologies, but I dare say that current political theory demonstrates that his policy option is quite unrealistic; the chance to act will expire too quickly, and the threat of regulation will have passed.

	Slashdot interviews Princeton CS Prof. Ed Felten (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-07)
		Felten is a outspoken and well-spoken critic of the DMCA and other related ventures, and most recently made news when he pointed out that extensions to the DMCA proposed in a number of states would end up making many home routers illegal.
		While Felten seems to believe that politicians, once they understand, will do the right thing, I think many enthusiasts lack the motivation to attempt to and communicate with politicians because of an overwhelming distrust of their motives and allegiances.
		In the case of the DMCA, it's incredibly frustrating because, as Felten notes, voters don't view the censorship of technology the same way as they view other forms of censorship (generally being opposed, that is).

	Wired News: Code-Breakers Go to Court
		On Wednesday, Ed Felten of Princeton University and seven other researchers took their fight to a New Jersey federal court in a lawsuit asking that they be permitted to disclose their work at a security conference this summer.
		In April, the industry groups told Felten and his co-authors that the planned publication of their work at the Information Hiding Workshop violated the DMCA, and after a remarkable amount of confusion, the researchers abandoned their plans to discuss their successful attempts to remove Verance's watermark from a digital music file.
		Felten and his colleagues, including Bede Liu, Scott Craver and Dan Wallach, wrote a paper describing their attack on the watermarks.

	PAW February 26, 2003: Features
		Felten helped derail the bill by demonstrating that it was so broad that it would affect not only general-use computers, but anything using a digital recorder – such as a robot dog and a machine that simulates the sounds of flatulence.
		Felten says he supports effective protection of intellectual property, but that the laws he is fighting prevent tinkering, and would make much of his work illegal.
		Felten first found himself in the public spotlight as the government’s witness in the Microsoft case, when he uncoupled Explorer and Windows.

	Felten spills the SDMI beans \| The Register
		Princeton University Professor Edward Felten, who led the team of researchers which successfully cracked the SDMI challenge, delivered his group's findings at the tenth annual USENIX conference in Washington Wednesday, and was not arrested.
		Felten added that the basic approach of using watermarks to enforce content access controls was foolish from the start, though he did say that fragile watermarks could be handy in detecting whether a file had been tampered with, so the technology isn't by any means useless.
		Felten filed for a declaratory judgment in court, seeking permission to deliver his paper at USENIX unmolested.

	EFF Media Release: EFF & Scientists Sue RIAA Over Censorship (June 6, 2001)
		Trenton, NJ -- The Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF) today asked a federal court to rule that Princeton University Professor Edward Felten and his research team have a First Amendment right to present their research on digital music access-control technologies at the USENIX Security Conference this August in Washington, DC, despite threats from the recording industry.
		When scientists from Princeton University and Rice University tried to publish their findings in April 2001, the recording industry claimed that the 1998 Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA) makes it illegal to discuss or provide technology that might be used to bypass industry controls limiting how consumers can use music they have purchased.
		Felten's research team includes Princeton University scientists and plaintiffs Bede Liu, Scott Craver, and Min Wu.

	Techdirt: Why Do DMCA Supporters Want To Rewrite Ed Felten's History So Badly?
		In 2001, Princeton computer science professor Ed Felten was getting ready to present some findings he and some colleagues made exposing weaknesses in the SDMI copy protection scheme the recording industry was pushing at the time.
		Felten and the colleagues successfully cracked SDMI -- but rather than collect the $10,000, he (like a good professor should) decided to publish the details in a paper presented at a conference (which was outside the rules of the $10,000 contest, which Felten never agreed to).
		Felten then went to court to get permission to publish the paper, noting how this seemed like a violation of the DMCA -- and how this showed how the DMCA went against the First Amendment in chilling free speech.

	Godwin’s Law » Blog Archive » Felten’s Law
		Ed Felten has come up with his own variant of Godwin’s Law — this one having to do with the ways that rhetoric about pornography tends to infect discussions about copyright.
		Ed’s point is that the arguments by P2P critics and by P2P companies tend to switch when the pornography card is played in the copyright debate:
		Ed may have titled his blog entry “Godwin’s Law, Updated,” but I think “Felten’s Law” has a better ring to it.
