Listen for Free to the First Hour of "The Digital Fourth Amendment"

A long preview is now available on Youtube.

I've blogged a few times about my new book, The Digital Fourth Amendment: Privacy and Policing in Our Online World.  I've also mentioned that there's now an audiobook version available.  I'm happy to say that the first hour of the audiobook is now available for a free listen anytime over at Youtube via Google Play Books.

The first 90 seconds or so is a legal warning that the audiobook publisher added, but the book itself starts right after that. If you want to hear or read the rest, you can buy the hardcover book here, a Kindle/electronic version here (among other places), or the full audiobook here (among other places).

Check it the one-hour free audio preview here:

FTR, I got the book (hardcover, not audio or e-) for Father's Day. Will let you know how it turns out.

If unauthorized access to a computer is a federal crime, if scams, identity theft, stalking, and malware are federal crimes, the lawyer is allowing a billion crimes a year. If selling personal info without compensating the owner is a crime, no matter what the Terms of Use say. Is crime, add another billion. Does Kerr address these total failures?

When the law is in utter failure, self help remains. Private parties are fully justified to trace the criminals, locate them, dispatch them and their families. Start with the tech bros. Return 90% of the income from personal information to the users, or forfeit your life and that of your loved ones. Let them spend $200 million on bogus personal security, they can still be visited. They are protected by the lawyer profession. Visit the lawyer hierarchy as well.

I don't think "selling personal info without compensating the owner" is a federal crime, yet. There isn't a general data protection legislation in the US.

Lack of uniform standards does cause confusion - for example, is the National Basketball Association a "video tape service provider"?

(Also, remember that you can always get a warrant.)

I've got a ten hour drive coming up. This should fill an hour of the trip.

I've seen that before. First hour's free, after that, Kerr owns you.

As I posted last week, I finally got the physical book. Don't have time to read it all right now, though.
