Comments of The Electronic Frontier Foundation Mr. Keith M. Kupferschmid Commissioner of Patents and Trademarks Box 4, Patent and Trademark Office Washington, DC 20231 November 22, 1996 Dear Mr. Kupferschmid, Problems With the Database Treaty Proposal There are many problems with the "Sui Generis Protection of Databases" treaty proposal. This treaty should be taken off the agenda in Geneva until interested parties within the United States have had the opportunity to discuss and debate the serious implications of its passage. There have been no public hearings on this proposal. It is premature to take any official U.S. stance at this time. This is particularly troubling because in the United States many government databases are maintained by private contractors. The pieces of information contained within those databases rightfully are part of the public domain; there is no other source for this information. The private vendors who receive government contracts to maintain information owned by the people should not be given a property interest in that government information. Furthermore, under the proposed database treaty, the government will be permitted to avoid compliance with the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) if it uses private contractors, since the contractors will be said to have property rights to the public information. In addition, there are problems with several definitions contained within the treaty. The definition of "database" is all-encompassing and will include many things that are not traditionally considered to be databases, such as collections of government documents. The term "substantial" is troubling, in that it takes into account the database maintainer's perceived lost value in the marketplace. Under this definition, it is reasonable to assume that even small portions of information used from a database would be considered a substantial portion of the database and would constitute violation of the treaty. With no fair use rights, database users would be precluded from using any bits of information they receive from a database if the database maintainer has charged for that information.

Trying to reach a resolution on this issue is difficult since in general, people think that issues surrounding identity are critical, yet we as a society have not yet had a full discussion about it. Effective Notice and Self-Regulation Two of the main issues identified at the Workshop were that consumers do not always receive effective notice about how personal information is being gathered about them as they travel through cyberspace, and whether self-regulation is the proper vehicle to continue to protect consumer interests online. Many of the companies who presented in the morning discussed the types of information that they collect and the purposes for which they use this data. Some collect only information that is not personally identifiable while others collect personally identifiable information. Privacy interests are implicated even for non-identifiable personal information because as it was pointed out, triangulation is inevitable.

"It's become really clear that the FBI is overstepping its authority," said Alan Davidson, staff counsel for the Center for Democracy and Technology, which, along with the Electronic Frontier Foundation, filed the petition Story Tools Today's Top 5 Stories Hackers Condemn Arab Site Hack Stem Cell Finds Change Everything Fears About DNA Testing Proposal Internet Radio's Biggest Geek ... Feeding the Sparks of Obsession The move is the latest in a two-year struggle between law enforcement, privacy groups, and phone companies over a 1994 law called the Communications Assistance for Law Enforcement Act. Known as CALEA, the law requires phone companies to factor in surveillance needs as they adopt new communications technology. Congress mandated a US$500 million federal payment to help industry accomplish the task and to create national standards for equipment redesign. So far, Congress has only handed over $100 million, and phone companies and privacy groups say that the FCC needs to step in and mediate the process. "We determined last month that we had reached an impasse," said Tim Ayers, spokesman for the Cellular Telecommunications Industry Association, which filed a similar petition with the FCC in mid-July on behalf of 90 percent of the nation's cellular carriers, and with backing from the US Telephone Association.

The encryption technology vendor launched another encryption challenge Tuesday. RSA's DES Challenge III invites hackers and computer experts to illustrate the main point repeatedly made by opponents of US encryption policy. Story Tools Today's Top 5 Stories Hackers Condemn Arab Site Hack Stem Cell Finds Change Everything Fears About DNA Testing Proposal Internet Radio's Biggest Geek ... Feeding the Sparks of Obsession RSA claims messages and data secured with the Data Encryption Standard, or DES, can be cracked in a few days. Therefore, it argues, the government should replace DES with more modern, stronger encryption technology. The government established the 56-bit DES as a standard in 1977. It claims that the vast difficulty and expense in cracking DES makes it sufficiently safe. Allowing the use of stronger encryption, the government maintains, would only help terrorists and other criminals communicate without government monitoring. The export of 128-bit "strong" encryption without "key recovery" is illegal. Key recovery allows third parties, such as law enforcement, to retrieve encrypted information. The US policy has long angered privacy advocates and the computer industry, which is eager to sell its encryption wares overseas.

EFF-Austin is reviewing the bill and will be following up. [Link] Here is one example of the far-reaching harmful effects of these bills. Both bills would flatly ban the possession, sale, or use of technologies that "conceal from a communication service provider ... the existence or place of origin or destination of any communication". Your ISP is a communcation service provider, so anything that concealed the origin or destination of any communication from your ISP would be illegal with no exceptions. If you encrypt your email, you're in violation, because the "To" line of the email is concealed from your ISP by encryption. If you use a secure connection to pick up your email, you're in violation, because the "From" lines of the incoming emails are concealed from your ISP by the encrypted connection.
