The National Association of Attorneys General goes by the acronym NAAG, which sometimes defined the mission. But this group does important work.
Many of the 50 state attorneys general, plus U.S. Justice Department head Janet Reno, are meeting today and tomorrow in Palo Alto to discuss the Internet and how it’s affecting their mission. I’m on a panel this morning with John Markoff of the New York Times and Walt Mossberg of the Wall Street Journal. Should be fun, and fascinating.
My plan is to talk about UCITA, a proposed law that would strip software customers of what few rights they have. I hope the AGs will be doing their best to block the legislation in their states, and will tell them so.
