A number of interesting announcements were forwarded to me, but the length of today's postings were getting so long that I decided not to post them. Let me know if you want to see any of the following. * A call for papers for the fifth Infowar conference in Washington, D.C. on September 5-6. The themes are personal privacy; industrial and economic spying and warfare; and global conflict, terrorism and the military. * A report by VTW on problems with Leahy's encryption bill, and on their visit to Congressional offices concerning the bill. * A criticism by NorthStar of the ACTA petition to regulate Internet telephone.
