Summary: In our seventy-fifth episode of the Steptoe Cyberlaw Podcast, Stewart Baker, Alan Cohn, Meredith Rathbone, Michael Vatis, and Jason Weinstein discuss: federal law enforcements’ issues with unbreakable encryption; Hacking Team was itself hacked; and the right to be forgotten still on the offensive. In our second half we have an interview with Michael Casey, former senior columnist for the Wall Street Journal and – as of last week – senior advisor at the MIT Media Lab’s Digital Currency Initiative. Michael is also the author, along with his former Wall Street Journal colleague Paul Vigna, of The Age of Cryptocurrency: How Bitcoin and Digital Money Are Challenging the Global Economic Order.
