FTC to Host Two-day Peer-To-Peer File-Sharing Workshop
Contributed by: Tommy
The Federal Trade Commission will host a two-day workshop on consumer protection and competition issues related to peer-to-peer (P2P) file sharing on Wednesday, December 15, and Thursday, December 16, 2004, beginning at 9:00 am EST. The workshop is the latest in a series of efforts to assess the impact of new and significant technologies on consumers and businesses. P2P file-sharing technology enables individuals to share files, including music, video, or software. Because the files do not reside in a central location — they are stored on the hard drives of users — P2P file-sharing technology allows for faster file transfer and conservation of bandwidth. The workshop agenda can be found at the following link on the Internet: http://www.ftc.gov/bcp/workshops/fil...ng/agenda.pdf. Who: Federal Trade Commission, Government, and Industry Representatives, Interested members of the public. Where: FTC Conference Center 601 New Jersey Ave, NW Washington, DC When: Wednesday and Thursday, December 15-16, 2004. Conference begins at 9 am each day. Persons unable to attend the workshop may dial in by calling 1-888-532-3213 on Wednesday and 1-800-556-4879 on Thursday. The confirmation number is 34096099 on Wednesday and 34096281 on Thursday, and the chairperson for both days is Beth Delaney. http://www.linuxelectrons.com/articl...41214210214316 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ |
