<mailto:emin at 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:
