Jack Herrington interviews Brad Templeton of the EFF about the CALEA wire-tapping act and the ramifications of the proposed extension to the VoIP industry, on O’Reilly’s Distributing the Future weekly podcast. Brad reccomends using Skype for now if you’re concerned about the privacy of your VoIP calls, “Skype got their encryption right.” Brad spoke about this at ETel and presented a very convincing argument that including VoIP networks and devices in CALEA is a recipe for stifling innovation.
