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.
