  • e.g. some pro­viders say account ends & data deleted on death. some state laws say execut­ors have right to access & con­tinue. #abaclc #
  • does pro­bate law, will or power of attor­ney trump terms of ser­vice? #abaclc #
  • so, what hap­pens to your digital prop­erty if you don’t plan ahead and kick the bucket? terms of ser­vice become rel­ev­ant. #abaclc #
  • cre­ate a list of pass­words and digital prop­erty — store securely & give access to fidu­ciar­ies. #abaclc #
  • plan­ning ahead to deal wtih digital prop­erty wil save a lot of time and money. #abaclc #
  • next present­a­tion sounds inter­est­ing — what hap­pens to you digital estate (pass­words, logins, auth devices) when you die? #abaclc #

  • sub­poena anonym­izer ser­vices. #abaclc #
  • other tech­niques: focus on web­sites where tar­get doesn’t obscure iden­tity. #abaclc #
  • yet more tools: web bugs, dummy web­sites. #abaclc #
  • other tools: his­torial whois, reverse IP ana­lysis, dns ana­lysis. #abaclc #
  • tools to find wrong­do­ers: domaintools.com, arin.net & other regis­tries, google, archive.org. #abaclc #

  • new era where upstream ser­vice pro­viders will be reg­u­larly tar­geted. #
  • RT @Flem­ingMF: Gold­man: USA is not immune from reg­u­lat­ors using nuc­lear option: e.g., ICE seizure of domain names. #abaclc #
  • 1 — the year the reg­u­lat­ors broke the inter­net. work up the chain to a wrongdoer’s ser­vice pro­viders. #abaclc #
  • inter­est­ing point given recent decision in ontario two days ago recog­niz­ing tort of inva­sion of pri­vacy & award­ing dam­ages. #abclc #
  • 2 — inab­il­ity of plaintiff pri­vacy law­yers to suc­cess­fully sue for pri­vacy breaches. fail­ures based on stand­ing, dam­ages. #abaclc #
  • 3 — gtld rol­lout. gold­man thinks it’s a bad thing  — incur costs and no wins (other than icann or pro­viders). sorry, don’t agree. #abaclc #
  • obvi­ous prob­lems — patient-physician rela­tion­ship s/b based on trust; pub­lic policy issues. #abaclc #

  • top 5 devel­op­ments per gold­man. #abaclc #

  • eu rewrit­ing pri­vacy reg­u­la­tion to replace exist­ing dir­ect­ive. #abaclc #
  • most us ad net­works not really doing that much right now — will likely man­date their cli­ents to com­ply. #abaclc #
