Saturday April 13, 2002 - [ 12:38 AM GMT ] <mailto:emin@allegro.mit.edu>Anonymous Reader writes "The Institute for Electrical and Electronic Engineers (IEEE) now forbids paper submissions which violate the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA) via its new copyright form available at www.ieee.org/about/documentation/copyright/NewCRfo rm101901.pdf. The copyright form, which all authors must sign as a condition of publication, requires the signer to warrant that the "publication or dissemination of the Work shall not violate any proprietary right or the Digital Copyright Millennium Act" [sic]. According to their web site at www.ieee.org, the IEEE is a non-profit, technical professional association of more than 377,000 individual members in 150 countries. The IEEE produces 30 percent of the world's published literature in electrical engineering, computers and control technology, holds annually more than 300 major conferences and has more than 860 active standards with 700 under development. Hence, the IEEE's decision to require authors to adhere to the DMCA has the potential to restrict research and discussion of security matters worldwide due to the 1998 U.S. law."

I was invited to write an article for IEEE Spectrum on the export bill. I did so, but they insisted on editorial changes that I found unacceptable. For example, they wanted to insert a sentence crediting IBM with opposition to export controls, when as we all know IBM was thoroughly in the NSA corner.

IEEE first delayed the article to May, and then pulled it. I have put it up on my web site instead:
