Using Tech to Protect
Content and IP

The use of technology in the illegal acquisition of content and intellectual property is a topic of frequent conversation. Less well covered is the application of technology to safeguard and protect IP.

Other topics in the discussion will include:

*The use of technology to "retrain" consumers to look to legal sources of content online

· Initial impacts/results from the PRO-IP Act: Implementation, role of the IP Enforcement Coordinator, administration priorities, international cooperation, etc.
