“Think about all your mobile devices. Which one would hurt you the most to lose?” That’s the opening question Daniel Waggoner, a partner at Davis Wright Tremaine, posed to the audience at the Legal Frontiers in Digital Media 2014 joint conference held May 15-16 at the Mountain View, Calif.-based Computer History Museum. Our relationship to our mobile environment is much more personal than what net users feel in the legacy hard-wired Internet environment, Waggoner said.
But that’s just the tip of this new iceberg. In the “Is Mobile Different?” session moderated by Waggoner, panelists from Microsoft Corp., Twitter Inc., Evernote Corp. and Covington & Burling explored how mobile platforms and content are changing traditional business models and driving legal issues that include Federal Communications Commission regulations and privacy and consumer protection laws.
