In this episode, we discuss the evolving landscape of NFTs – or non-fungible tokens – which have taken the digital world by storm – or perhaps just a downloadable picture of a storm – promising to revolutionize not only the way we perceive, protect, purchase, and own digital assets, but how we might even buy a house or other assets in the real world. Guest Cameron Pick of Marshall Gerstein draws on his expertise in intellectual property law to provide insights into the changing dynamics of NFTs and the legal issues that accompany them.

Blockchain: Power to the People

August 28th, 2018|Categories: HB Risk Notes|Tags: blockchain|

Dan Solove, co-founder of the Privacy+Security Forum and professor at GW Law School, just posted an interview with Steve Shillingford, Founder and CEO of Anonyome Labs, a consumer privacy software company. Below is part of just one exchange in the interview. SOLOVE: The Internet has made so many things possible that we couldn’t do in an analog world. Yet, in some ways, the online world seems to lack the capabilities of the offline world. In the offline world, it is much easier to have anonymous transactions. This becomes much more challenging online. How can the online world be made more like the offline world in this regard? SHILLINGFORD: Blockchain technology shifts the balance of power back to people—to individuals—and away from tech giants, governments and data miners. It allows you to transact on your terms, just as you do offline. And it’s not just limited to financial transactions. Put anything on the blockchain you want. The blockchain gives a person the ability to publish only the information THEY decide to divulge. Nothing more, nothing less. And no more hidden agendas, no selling personal data without your consent, no worries about privacy. Just like the analogue world, you decide the context, the content, and duration of the information you provide…not the big guys. It can really be that easy. Read the complete interview.

RSA’s Zulfikar Ramzan on Blockchain

Is blockchain as impenetrable as people think? Or as necessary? It's not predicated on the same type of cryptographic security that we've seen historically, but if someone has enough money and enough motivation -- like a nation state -- couldn't they severely compromise a system? Is blockchain the only way transactional protections can become so secure, or could traditional technologies be employed and with less effort? RSA Security's Chief Technology Officer Zulfikar Ramzan, Ph.D., spoke at our Cyber Sector Risk: Blockchain Security in April 2018 in New York. Hear what he had to say about this much-heralded technology.

Will Blockchain Sweep the Legal Industry?

January 28th, 2018|Categories: HB Risk Notes|Tags: blockchain, blockchain insurance, blockchain law, blockchain law practice|

"[I]t is clear that [blockchain] technology has the potential to be massively transformative and disruptive for the legal industry. Even the most basic examples illustrate how blockchain could provide answers for some of the fundamental questions attorneys have grappled with since the dawn of the profession. While the days of full-scale adoption may be well off, it would certainly behoove attorneys to stay abreast of developments in both blockchain and cryptocurrencies." --Matthew Decker, Associate, McBreen & Kopko, writing in the Philadelphia Legal Intelligencer Attorneys should stay abreast of developments in blockchain? We couldn't agree more, Matthew!
