I video interviewed Julie Samuels, Staff Attorney @Electronic Frontier Foundation during SF Music Tech Summit 2012. Julie was giving a talk with Ira Rothken, Rothken Law about the Megaupload Legal Case. She spoke about the great work that EFF does to protect our legal rights online. I encourage everyone to support their work as we move into the future.

Julie Samuels is a Staff Attorney at EFF, where she focuses on intellectual property issues. Before joining EFF, Julie litigated IP and entertainment cases in Chicago at Loeb & Loeb and Sonnenschein Nath & Rosenthal. Prior to becoming a lawyer, Julie spent time as a legislative assistant at the Media Coalition in New York and as an assistant editor at the National Journal Group in D.C. Julie earned her J.D. from Vanderbilt University and her B.S. in journalism from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign.

This was the great panel that Julie did with Ira Rothken, Rothken Law Firm, Glogbal Lead Defense Counsel for Megaupload.
