AT&T invited the Electronic Frontier Foundation into its talks on developing a network copyright filter, Senior Intellectual Property attorney Fred von Lohmann told us. “We look forward to it,” he said. Last week, von Lohmann said AT&T should invite consumer advocates into talks to avoid criticism that the planned filter is an “unfortunate example of the way companies who need access to Hollywood content serve Hollywood needs before customers” (CD June 18 p4). AT&T sent von Lohmann a note Friday inviting him to open a dialogue, he said.
