CPDP2012 Panels at Grande Halle
9.00 Location-based services and privacy: are we moving in the right direction?
hosted by Daniel LE METAYER, INRIA Grenoble Rhône-Alpes (FR) and Sébastien GAMBS, University of Rennes (FR)
panel Justin BROOKMAN, Center for Democracy & Technology (US), Maria Luisa DAMIANI, University of Milan (IT), Eleni KOSTA, Katholieke Universiteit Leuven (BE), Sjoera NAS, College bescherming persoonsgegevens (NL), Malte SPITZ, Member of the Executive Committee of the German Greens (DE)
The pervasive use of personal devices equipped with geolocated capabilities, such as mobile phones and tablets, has led to the development of a wealth of location-based services. While many of these new services turn out to be very convenient and have been adopted very quickly by users to the point that they may even seem indispensable in a near future, they also represent one of the most serious threats to privacy today. The aim of this panel is to review and compare both the benefits and the risks of location-based services and to discuss the issues at stake by taking a multidisciplinary perspective.

11.45 Copyright enforcement and privacy
organised by CPDP and IViR
hosted by Christiaan ALBERDINGK THIJM (University of Amsterdam, NL)
panel Isabelle CHATELIER, Office of the European Data Protection Supervisor (EU), Joe McNAMEE, European Digital Rights – EDRi (EU), Johan POUWELSE, Delft University of Technology (NL), Andreas WIEBE, University of Goettingen (DE)
The Internet has enabled file sharing, including copyright infringements, on a large scale. Despite the fact that the economic effects of these infringements are uncertain, there is an ongoing trend towards stricter enforcement and deterrence measures. For example, several countries have adopted legislation that threatens to cut off users from the Internet, if they are caught sharing copyrighted files. Likewise, some argue that Internet access providers should analyse Internet traffic in order to combat file sharing. Copyright holders often seek access to subscriber data of Internet users as well. The question therefore arises: is it possible to enforce copyright on the Internet without violating the right to privacy or other fundamental rights?
