My Word with Douglas E. Welch

{EAV:1139b1428b217d58}

I was part of an ACLU-sponsored panel discussion last night that the UCLA School of Law. Here are some photos from the evening.

My fellow panelists were:

• Heidi Kujawa (Founding Member of Kode Corporation – a company dedicated solely to intellectual property protection)
• Nicole A. Ozer (Technology and Civil Liberties Policy Director of the ACLU of Northern California)

Video and audio recordings of this panel should be coming soon.

I’ve been invited to be a part of this panel discussion sponsored by the ACLU of Southern California. Join me, if you can, for a night of delving into digital privacy and what it means for us all. — Douglas
