As usual, the column is multi-topic. It starts with a brief review of the SIGGRAPH Public Policy Program. This is followed with some comments (and my responses) on the program raised by an interested SIGGRAPH member. Once again, Myles Losch presents recent information on digital copy protection, including its potential application to free terrestrial broadcast digital TV. We provide a review of the 2000 edition of one of the most important conferences at the intersection of competing and public policy, the ACM sponsored Computers, Freedom and Privacy Conference (CFP). And finally, we describe the availability of our third on-line survey.
