Firefox/Projects/Personas Uplift Exploration/Legal Meeting 10.20.09

Insight From Legal (Julie)

• Mozilla should absolve itself from copyright filtering
  
• Focus now is to make sure that our process complies with DMCA
  
• Several open questions/issues (See below)
  

Tech / Scaling Issues

• If copyright filter is removed from approval process, may not need to implement a technical solution (eg, flagging system) to scale in 3.6
  

Open Issues / Questions for Julie to Investigate

• DMCA
  
  • Cleanup needed
    
  • Policy on repeat infringers
    
  • Other matters
    
• At what point do we filter content that we are responsible for? Before activating in gallery?
  
• Offensive, inappropriate
  
  • What are we obligated to by law (eg, child porn)
    
  • What do we feel good about?
    
• Recognizable non-celebrities
  
• Whether we need to remove from local cache (see 523246)
• Edits
• How any of this impacts the Firefox Privacy Policy
• Discretionary policy
