A Word About Our Blog Entries

The Julie Group shares a professional interest in the area of digital and emerging technology and law. As professionals there is a rich and deep appreciation for the differences of opinion that can appear in this space. You must never assume that opinion, where it is introduced is universally shared and endorsed by all our volunteers. Nor are they necessarily the very best snapshot of a given issue.

Readers are expected to think about the issues, question everything worth discussing, and add value to the conversation by correcting what's here or broadening the understanding of the subject. This is part of the educational process between us all. Our hope is that this exercise results in better law, law enforcement, and citizen participation in forging sophisticated social understandings of the technological forces changing our lives.

Haiti Earthquake Donation Scams

Tom Kelchner, Sunbelt blogger, is reporting on malware that's targeting Haiti Relief efforts.

Schools and community organizations who are collecting relief funds or encouraging donations should caution everyone to be sure of the legitimacy of the web sites claiming to offer aid.

The Sunbelt blog link is here: http://sunbeltblog.blogspot.com/

As an ethical disclaimer, Alex Eckelberry, one of the founding members of The Julie Group is an executive at Sunbelt Software. Nonetheless, the warnings on that blog are worth noting.
