Prof. Goldman Interviews Cindy Cohn of the EFF
Professor Goldman interviews Cindy Cohn, legal director of the EFF. Access the interview here.
It's well worth listening to for a couple of reasons:
- as far as organizations go, the EFF has probably been most influential in shaping the law in cyberspace (purveyors of adult content and other less mainstream content peddlers have been pretty influential but they obviously don't influence the law in a concerted policy-driven manner);
- great career advice - they chat in the interview about the "call that changes your career" .. great advice for students, lawyers, and people who are just looking to get into a particular area ("just do it" probably sums up the advice, but it's always always healthy to hear about how chance plays a role);
- good discussion on the Google Books Settlement and the privacy issues that the EFF brought to light;
- the discussion about whether she's a "geek" and what "geekiness" is was funny as well.
