Submitted by the Event Organizer

Joshua Koltan, an expert on intellectual property, is presenting “From the Federalist Papers to Wikileaks: Anonymous Speech, Confidential Sources, and the First Amendment.”

“Americans have been publishing anonymously at least since Alexander Hamilton, James Madison, and John Jay published the Federalist Papers under pseudonyms. Will the courts continue to protect the rights of journalists? And what is the impact of the internet, which enables anyone to become a publisher?“—Joshua Koltun
