And next week new federal regulations will give startups and investors more ways to find each other.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Previously, the Securities and Exchange Commission banned companies from advertising publicly to potential investors on TV, radio, in print or at seminars.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_111854\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\" style=\"max-width: 300px\">\u003cimg class=\"size-medium wp-image-111854 \" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2013/09/business-startup-640-300x168.jpg\" alt=\"business-startup-640\" width=\"300\" height=\"168\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Getty Images\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Now, the SEC is lifting that ban.

And investors could use those sites to find the next big thing.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>KQED's Joshua Johnson recently spoke with Mike Norman, a co-founder of \u003ca href=\"https://wefunder.com/\">Wefunder\u003c/a>, a crowdfunding website for equity investment. The company is based in San Francisco and Boston.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Here's an edited transcript:\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Joshua Johnson\u003c/strong>: Wefunder was one of the companies that lobbied really hard for the SEC to update these rules. These changes came about in the JOBS Act, which passed last year. What's your take on how that change worked out? Did you get what you wanted, or is there more to do?\u003cbr>\n\u003c!--more-->\u003cbr>\n\u003cstrong>Mike Norman\u003c/strong>: What will change next week is really the first part of the changes implemented by the JOBS Act. We will get the ability to have startups advertise and generally solicit for investments. The part that gets us equally excited will happen next year where everyone will be able to invest in startups. So right now, the drop on the ban on general solicitation allows startups to advertise their fundraising opportunities, but you still only invest if you are an accredited investor, which means you either have $200,000 in income or you have a net worth of more than $1 million.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Johnson\u003c/strong>: Why should we trust the crowd to drive investment? Crowds are often wrong, groupthink can be a very dangerous thing. Isn't there some value in the struggle to get capital that forces startups to really play their A-game?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Norman\u003c/strong>: I think there's a lot of value to that, and on Wefunder we actually require that a startup already have raised money from one investor offline and set the terms. Then you'll be able to put your company up on Wefunder and broadcast it out to the universe of investors that could be really passionate and interested in what you're building, to help them follow on in the terms that have been established offline. So, I do think there's value in that initial conversation with an investor that has more experience to decide exactly what the price and the terms of the investment should be.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Johnson\u003c/strong>: How big of a market do you think there is for this type of investing?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Norman\u003c/strong>: This is a huge market. If you think about the way investing works right now you have to have a very broad personal network of individuals that make enough money and are connected to the startup scene to go out and raise capital. The vast majority of people that meet those wealth restrictions are not directly connected to startup communities. They do not live in Silicon Valley or in New York or in Boston. They're spread out around the country. And they're really interested in investing in companies, they just have no way to find out about opportunities to do so.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Johnson\u003c/strong>: It occurs to me also that sites like Wefunder might help to diversify investors in Silicon Valley. You know as well as I do that a lot of the work being done in Silicon Valley is being done mostly by male investors and entrepreneurs, mostly white investors and entrepreneurs. This might go a way toward a little more diversity.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Norman\u003c/strong>: That's absolutely right. So many more individuals are going to be able to see these companies and have a chance to invest. Most of the time the conversation around crowd investing revolves around access to capital. The piece that doesn't get spoken about as much is how valuable this can be to companies outside of just the capital. If you're raising from traditional investors in the Valley, they're writing you checks for $50,000 and so on and so forth. Oftentimes they're not really embedded in the industry that you're building your startup to impact. With crowd investing, what you're going to be able to do is broadcast out what it is you're building. Say you're building an enterprise application ... you're able to tell the world about your application, and the fact that you've had some early traction with good investors on board. All of the sudden a hundred executives from different Fortune 500 companies can see what you're building.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Now, they might not have the ability to put $50,000 or $100,000 into your deal, but even if they only put in a few thousand dollars, and they're tracking what you're doing, and they really believe in what you're building, now you can possibly have an advocate for yourself in the sales process moving forward. You're just getting so many more individuals involved.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Listen to the entire interview:\u003c/p>\n\u003cdiv>\n\u003cdiv class=\"embedly\">\u003ciframe src=\"https://w.soundcloud.com/player/?url=http%3A%2F%2Fapi.soundcloud.com%2Ftracks%2F111282487&show_artwork=true&maxwidth=900\" frameborder=\"no\" scrolling=\"no\" width=\"640\" height=\"166\">\u003c/iframe>\n\u003cdiv class=\"embedly-clear\">\u003c/div>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan class=\"embedly-powered\" style=\"float: right\">\u003ca title=\"Powered by Embedly\" href=\"http://embed.ly?src=anywhere\" target=\"_blank\">\u003cimg src=\"//static.embed.ly/images/logos/embedly-powered-small-light.png\" alt=\"Embedly Powered\">\u003c/a>\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cdiv class=\"media-attribution\">\u003cspan>via \u003c/span>\u003ca class=\"media-attribution-link\" href=\"http://soundcloud.com\" target=\"_blank\">SoundCloud\u003c/a>\u003c/div>\n\u003cdiv class=\"embedly-clear\">\u003c/div>\n\u003c/div>\n\u003c/div>\n\n",

These changes came about in the JOBS Act, which passed last year. What's your take on how that change worked out? Did you get what you wanted, or is there more to do?\u003cbr>\n\u003c!--more-->\u003cbr>\n\u003cstrong>Mike Norman\u003c/strong>: What will change next week is really the first part of the changes implemented by the JOBS Act. We will get the ability to have startups advertise and generally solicit for investments. The part that gets us equally excited will happen next year where everyone will be able to invest in startups. So right now, the drop on the ban on general solicitation allows startups to advertise their fundraising opportunities, but you still only invest if you are an accredited investor, which means you either have $200,000 in income or you have a net worth of more than $1 million.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Johnson\u003c/strong>: Why should we trust the crowd to drive investment? Crowds are often wrong, groupthink can be a very dangerous thing. Isn't there some value in the struggle to get capital that forces startups to really play their A-game?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Norman\u003c/strong>: I think there's a lot of value to that, and on Wefunder we actually require that a startup already have raised money from one investor offline and set the terms. Then you'll be able to put your company up on Wefunder and broadcast it out to the universe of investors that could be really passionate and interested in what you're building, to help them follow on in the terms that have been established offline. So, I do think there's value in that initial conversation with an investor that has more experience to decide exactly what the price and the terms of the investment should be.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Johnson\u003c/strong>: How big of a market do you think there is for this type of investing?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Norman\u003c/strong>: This is a huge market. If you think about the way investing works right now you have to have a very broad personal network of individuals that make enough money and are connected to the startup scene to go out and raise capital. The vast majority of people that meet those wealth restrictions are not directly connected to startup communities. They do not live in Silicon Valley or in New York or in Boston. They're spread out around the country. And they're really interested in investing in companies, they just have no way to find out about opportunities to do so.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Johnson\u003c/strong>: It occurs to me also that sites like Wefunder might help to diversify investors in Silicon Valley. You know as well as I do that a lot of the work being done in Silicon Valley is being done mostly by male investors and entrepreneurs, mostly white investors and entrepreneurs. This might go a way toward a little more diversity.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Norman\u003c/strong>: That's absolutely right. So many more individuals are going to be able to see these companies and have a chance to invest. Most of the time the conversation around crowd investing revolves around access to capital. The piece that doesn't get spoken about as much is how valuable this can be to companies outside of just the capital. If you're raising from traditional investors in the Valley, they're writing you checks for $50,000 and so on and so forth. Oftentimes they're not really embedded in the industry that you're building your startup to impact. With crowd investing, what you're going to be able to do is broadcast out what it is you're building. Say you're building an enterprise application ... you're able to tell the world about your application, and the fact that you've had some early traction with good investors on board. All of the sudden a hundred executives from different Fortune 500 companies can see what you're building.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Now, they might not have the ability to put $50,000 or $100,000 into your deal, but even if they only put in a few thousand dollars, and they're tracking what you're doing, and they really believe in what you're building, now you can possibly have an advocate for yourself in the sales process moving forward. You're just getting so many more individuals involved.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Listen to the entire interview:\u003c/p>\n\u003cdiv>\n\u003cdiv class=\"embedly\">\u003ciframe src=\"https://w.soundcloud.com/player/?url=http%3A%2F%2Fapi.soundcloud.com%2Ftracks%2F111282487&show_artwork=true&maxwidth=900\" frameborder=\"no\" scrolling=\"no\" width=\"640\" height=\"166\">\u003c/iframe>\n\u003cdiv class=\"embedly-clear\">\u003c/div>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan class=\"embedly-powered\" style=\"float: right\">\u003ca title=\"Powered by Embedly\" href=\"http://embed.ly?src=anywhere\" target=\"_blank\">\u003cimg src=\"//static.embed.ly/images/logos/embedly-powered-small-light.png\" alt=\"Embedly Powered\">\u003c/a>\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cdiv class=\"media-attribution\">\u003cspan>via \u003c/span>\u003ca class=\"media-attribution-link\" href=\"http://soundcloud.com\" target=\"_blank\">SoundCloud\u003c/a>\u003c/div>\n\u003cdiv class=\"embedly-clear\">\u003c/div>\n\u003c/div>\n\u003c/div>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",

I probably developed an understanding of both.”\u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>Having grown up at the textile mill built by his father, Heichachi Toyoda, and uncle Sakichi Toyoda, Eiji Toyoda loved machines.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“So from my childhood, machines and business were always there right in front of me,” he said in a Time magazine interview in 1999. “I probably developed an understanding of both.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He rose in the executive ranks, becoming a Toyota director by 1945. But that wasn’t much of a promotion because most of the company’s operations had been put on hold by World War II, picking back up again by 1950.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That was when Toyoda toured a Ford factory plant in Dearborn, Mich., an experience that was at the root of many of the ideas he employed at Toyota to create the company’s efficient, low-defect manufacturing processes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We were producing 40 cars a day,” he said in the Time interview. “Ford was making 8,000 units, a 200-times difference. The gap was enormous.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Toyoda, with the advice of production specialist Taiichi Ohno, changed Toyota’s manufacturing approach.

Before the war, the military government prevented Toyota from building passenger cars, compelling it to make trucks for Japan’s war effort instead.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>By 1950, Toyota had produced just 2,685 automobiles, compared with the 7,000 vehicles the Rouge plant was rolling out in a single day, according to “\u003ca href=\"http://www.amazon.com/Machine-That-Changed-World-Revolutionizing/dp/0743299795\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">The Machine That Changed the World\u003c/a>,” a 1990 study by James P. Womack, Daniel T. Jones and Daniel Roos.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Mr. Toyoda was unfazed, writing back to headquarters that he “thought there were some possibilities to improve the production system.” He brought back a thick booklet that outlined some of Ford’s quality-control methods; the company translated it into Japanese, changing “Ford” to “Toyota” in all references.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Mr. Toyoda went on to oversee Toyota’s Motomachi plant, a huge undertaking that gave the automaker the capacity to produce 5,000 passenger vehicles a month at a time when all of Japan produced about 7,000 vehicles a month. The plant, completed in 1959, was soon running at full capacity and gave Toyota a decisive lead over its domestic rival Nissan and the confidence to turn its eyes overseas.\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"pullquote alignleft\">“One of the features of the Japanese workers is that they use their brains as well as their hands.”\u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>Even as he aggressively expanded production at Toyota, Mr. Toyoda implemented a manufacturing culture based on concepts like “kaizen,” a commitment to continuous improvements suggested by the workers themselves, and just-in-time production, a tireless effort to eliminate waste. Those ideas became a corporate philosophy known as the “Toyota Way.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“One of the features of the Japanese workers is that they use their brains as well as their hands,” he said in an interview with the author Masaaki Imai for the 1986 book “Kaizen.” “Our workers provide 1.5 million suggestions a year, and 95 percent of them are put to practical use. There is an almost tangible concern for improvement in the air at Toyota.”\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Wall Street Journal Japan:\u003c/strong> \u003ca href=\"http://blogs.wsj.com/japanrealtime/2013/09/17/eiji-toyoda-japan-auto-industry-visionary-dies-at-100/?KEYWORDS=toyota\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Eiji Toyoda, Japan Auto Industry Visionary, Dies at 100 \u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>After a failed earlier attempt to crack the U.S. market, Toyota succeeded with its 1968 Corolla model the year after Mr. Toyoda took over as president.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>To avoid an escalation of trade friction between the U.S. and Japan in the 1980s, he was also responsible for pushing ahead with a plan to launch a joint production venture with General Motors Corp. called New United Motor Manufacturing Inc. in California. It was Toyota’s first production base in the U.S.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Among his other noted business decisions was the birth of Lexus, which he set into motion the year before becoming chairman and six years before the first luxury Toyota model debuted to rave reviews in 1989.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He stepped down as chairman in 1992 and served as honorary chairman until 1999, when he assumed the ceremonial post of honorary adviser until his death.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Among his many honorary titles outside of the company, he was awarded the Grand Cordon of the Order of the Rising Sun in 1990, one of Japan’s highest honors.

About a year later he moved to the company’s newly established automotive subsidiary.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He quickly became enamored with the process of manufacturing automobiles, diving into factory operations and supervising activities on the shop floor.\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"pullquote alignleft\">“From my childhood, machines and business were always there right in front of me. I probably developed an understanding of both.”\u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>Having grown up at the textile mill built by his father, Heichachi Toyoda, and uncle Sakichi Toyoda, Eiji Toyoda loved machines.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“So from my childhood, machines and business were always there right in front of me,” he said in a Time magazine interview in 1999. “I probably developed an understanding of both.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He rose in the executive ranks, becoming a Toyota director by 1945. But that wasn’t much of a promotion because most of the company’s operations had been put on hold by World War II, picking back up again by 1950.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That was when Toyoda toured a Ford factory plant in Dearborn, Mich., an experience that was at the root of many of the ideas he employed at Toyota to create the company’s efficient, low-defect manufacturing processes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We were producing 40 cars a day,” he said in the Time interview. “Ford was making 8,000 units, a 200-times difference. The gap was enormous.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Toyoda, with the advice of production specialist Taiichi Ohno, changed Toyota’s manufacturing approach. They focused on making cars in small batches, receiving just enough parts at the factory to complete a production run efficiently.\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>New York Times:\u003c/strong> \u003ca href=\"http://www.nytimes.com/2013/09/18/business/global/eiji-toyoda-promoter-of-toyota-way-dies-at-100.html#h%5BIhsBtw,2%5D\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Eiji Toyoda, Promoter of ‘Toyota Way,’ Dies at 100 \u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>In 1950 he set out on what would turn out to be a pivotal three-month tour to survey Ford’s Rouge plant in Detroit, then the largest and most efficient factory in the world. Before the war, the military government prevented Toyota from building passenger cars, compelling it to make trucks for Japan’s war effort instead.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>By 1950, Toyota had produced just 2,685 automobiles, compared with the 7,000 vehicles the Rouge plant was rolling out in a single day, according to “\u003ca href=\"http://www.amazon.com/Machine-That-Changed-World-Revolutionizing/dp/0743299795\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">The Machine That Changed the World\u003c/a>,” a 1990 study by James P. Womack, Daniel T. Jones and Daniel Roos.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Mr. Toyoda was unfazed, writing back to headquarters that he “thought there were some possibilities to improve the production system.” He brought back a thick booklet that outlined some of Ford’s quality-control methods; the company translated it into Japanese, changing “Ford” to “Toyota” in all references.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Mr. Toyoda went on to oversee Toyota’s Motomachi plant, a huge undertaking that gave the automaker the capacity to produce 5,000 passenger vehicles a month at a time when all of Japan produced about 7,000 vehicles a month. The plant, completed in 1959, was soon running at full capacity and gave Toyota a decisive lead over its domestic rival Nissan and the confidence to turn its eyes overseas.\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"pullquote alignleft\">“One of the features of the Japanese workers is that they use their brains as well as their hands.”\u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>Even as he aggressively expanded production at Toyota, Mr. Toyoda implemented a manufacturing culture based on concepts like “kaizen,” a commitment to continuous improvements suggested by the workers themselves, and just-in-time production, a tireless effort to eliminate waste. Those ideas became a corporate philosophy known as the “Toyota Way.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“One of the features of the Japanese workers is that they use their brains as well as their hands,” he said in an interview with the author Masaaki Imai for the 1986 book “Kaizen.” “Our workers provide 1.5 million suggestions a year, and 95 percent of them are put to practical use. There is an almost tangible concern for improvement in the air at Toyota.”\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Wall Street Journal Japan:\u003c/strong> \u003ca href=\"http://blogs.wsj.com/japanrealtime/2013/09/17/eiji-toyoda-japan-auto-industry-visionary-dies-at-100/?KEYWORDS=toyota\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Eiji Toyoda, Japan Auto Industry Visionary, Dies at 100 \u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>After a failed earlier attempt to crack the U.S. market, Toyota succeeded with its 1968 Corolla model the year after Mr. Toyoda took over as president.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>To avoid an escalation of trade friction between the U.S. and Japan in the 1980s, he was also responsible for pushing ahead with a plan to launch a joint production venture with General Motors Corp. called New United Motor Manufacturing Inc. in California. It was Toyota’s first production base in the U.S.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Among his other noted business decisions was the birth of Lexus, which he set into motion the year before becoming chairman and six years before the first luxury Toyota model debuted to rave reviews in 1989.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He stepped down as chairman in 1992 and served as honorary chairman until 1999, when he assumed the ceremonial post of honorary adviser until his death.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Among his many honorary titles outside of the company, he was awarded the Grand Cordon of the Order of the Rising Sun in 1990, one of Japan’s highest honors. He was the second Japanese inductee into the Automotive Hall of Fame in 1994 following Honda Motor Co.’s founder Soichiro Honda.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A cousin of the auto maker’s founder Kiichiro Toyoda, he helped the elder Toyoda build the company’s first commercial plant on the site of a red pine grove in town of Koromo, later renamed Toyota City.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Mr. Toyoda is survived by his three sons – Kanshiro, chairman of Toyota affiliated auto parts maker Aisin Seiki Co., Tetsuro – chairman of another affiliated parts maker Toyota Industries Corp. – and Shuhei, a former head of Toyota’s European operations, who currently serves as president of affiliated parts maker Toyota Boshoku Corp.\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

The industry has awarded Dolby Laboratories with 10 Academy Awards and 13 Emmy Awards for its groundbreaking achievements throughout the years.\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

The suit alleges Google broke the law when it collected data from unencrypted Wi-Fi networks as part of its \u003ca href=\"http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Google_Street_View\" target=\"_blank\">Street View \u003c/a>project. Street View uses specially equipped vehicles — they carry a tall ungainly 360-degree camera on the roof — to capture on-the-ground images of thoroughfares. Among other things, the images are used to complement views in Google Maps and Google Earth.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But the Street View electronics are also capable of capturing information other than images. The devices also have the capacity to \"sniff\" data from unsecured wireless routers -- information the company can use to augment its location and mapping services. The company has faced complaints in several countries after privacy officials found it was grabbing bits of personal data from unsecured networks. Here's \u003ca href=\"http://www.wired.com/threatlevel/2013/09/googles-wifi-wiretapping/\" target=\"_blank\">Wired's summary\u003c/a>:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>Google said it didn’t realize it was sniffing packets of data on unsecured Wi-Fi networks in about a dozen countries over a three-year period until German privacy authorities began questioning in 2010 what data Google’s Street View cars were collecting. Google, along with other companies, uses databases of Wi-Fi networks and their locations to augment or replace GPS when attempting to figure out the location of a computer or mobile device. Google had claimed the lawsuit was “without merit,” but has abandoned the practice of payload sniffing from open networks.\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>The net effect of Tuesday's ruling: The wiretapping lawsuit can proceed in U.S. District Court in San Jose. Google says it's \"disappointed\" with the ruling.\u003c!--more-->\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Here's the Associated Press story on the case and yesterday's ruling:\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>MARTHA MENDOZA\u003cbr>\nAP National Writer\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A federal appeals court said Tuesday that Google wrongly collected people's personal correspondence and online activities through their Wi-Fi systems as it drove down their streets with car cameras shooting photos for its Street View mapping project.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The ruling that the practice violates wiretap laws sends a warning to other companies seeking to suck up vast amounts of data from unencrypted Wi-Fi signals.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"The payload data transmitted over unencrypted Wi-Fi networks that was captured by Google included emails, usernames, passwords, images, and documents,\" wrote the U.S. Court of Appeals in San Francisco in a report released Tuesday\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Google had argued that its activities were exempt from the wiretap law because data transmitted over a Wi-Fi network is a \"radio communication\" and is \"readily accessible to the public.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Not so, wrote the judges, agreeing with an earlier federal judge's ruling.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Even if it is commonplace for members of the general public to connect to a neighbor's unencrypted Wi-Fi network, members of the general public do not typically mistakenly intercept, store and decode data transmitted by other devices on the network,\" they said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Google's Street View cars can be spotted with pole-mounted cameras on their roofs, photographing along roadways the world over. The photos then show up on Google's popular Street View map option, where viewers can virtually scroll along a street past homes, cars and shops, all captured in photographs.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But unbeknown to passers-by, those cameras weren't just making photos. They were also collecting detailed information transmitted over Wi-Fi networks they passed through.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Privacy experts and industry watchers said this was the first time an appeals court has ruled that it's illegal for a company to sniff out and collect private information from the Wi-Fi networks that provide Internet service to people at home. Google is also the first publicly known company to try.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"This appeals court decision is a tremendous victory for privacy rights. It means Google can't suck up private communications from people's Wi-Fi networks and claim their Wi-Spying was exempt from federal wiretap laws,\" said John M. Simpson, Consumer Watchdog's privacy project director. \"Because Google's Wi-Spy activity was so extensive, the potential damages could amount to billions of dollars.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Marc Rotenberg, executive director of Electronic Privacy Information Center, called it \"a landmark decision for Internet privacy.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"The court made clear that the federal privacy law applies to residential Wi-Fi networks,\" he said. \"Users should be protected when a company tries to capture data that travels between their laptop and their printer in their home.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A Google spokesperson said Tuesday that attorneys for the Internet giant are \"disappointed in the 9th Circuit's decision and are considering our next steps.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Attorney Elizabeth Cabraser, representing a class action of plaintiffs who say their privacy was invaded by Google, said Tuesday they look forward to resuming their case now that a federal appeals court has ruled in their favor.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Google has apologized for the snooping, which it says took place between 2008 and March 2010. It promised to stop collecting the data and said the practice, conducted in more than 30 countries, was inadvertent but not illegal.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Earlier this year Google settled a 37-state lawsuit for $7 million after attorneys general sued over what they said was an invasion of privacy for the data collection.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The practice was discovered by a German data protection commissioner in 2010. A few months later, Google co-founder Sergey Brin told conference-goers that the firm had made a mistake.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"In short, let me just say that we screwed up,\" he said at the time.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Google says it has disabled the equipment that was collecting the data, and agreed to destroy the information as soon as possible. The company is currently obliged to hold it, unused, because of ongoing litigation.\u003c/p>\n\n",

The suit alleges Google broke the law when it collected data from unencrypted Wi-Fi networks as part of its \u003ca href=\"http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Google_Street_View\" target=\"_blank\">Street View \u003c/a>project. Street View uses specially equipped vehicles — they carry a tall ungainly 360-degree camera on the roof — to capture on-the-ground images of thoroughfares. Among other things, the images are used to complement views in Google Maps and Google Earth.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But the Street View electronics are also capable of capturing information other than images. The devices also have the capacity to \"sniff\" data from unsecured wireless routers -- information the company can use to augment its location and mapping services. The company has faced complaints in several countries after privacy officials found it was grabbing bits of personal data from unsecured networks. Here's \u003ca href=\"http://www.wired.com/threatlevel/2013/09/googles-wifi-wiretapping/\" target=\"_blank\">Wired's summary\u003c/a>:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>Google said it didn’t realize it was sniffing packets of data on unsecured Wi-Fi networks in about a dozen countries over a three-year period until German privacy authorities began questioning in 2010 what data Google’s Street View cars were collecting. Google, along with other companies, uses databases of Wi-Fi networks and their locations to augment or replace GPS when attempting to figure out the location of a computer or mobile device. Google had claimed the lawsuit was “without merit,” but has abandoned the practice of payload sniffing from open networks.\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>The net effect of Tuesday's ruling: The wiretapping lawsuit can proceed in U.S. District Court in San Jose. Google says it's \"disappointed\" with the ruling.\u003c!--more-->\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Here's the Associated Press story on the case and yesterday's ruling:\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>MARTHA MENDOZA\u003cbr>\nAP National Writer\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

The photos then show up on Google's popular Street View map option, where viewers can virtually scroll along a street past homes, cars and shops, all captured in photographs.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But unbeknown to passers-by, those cameras weren't just making photos. They were also collecting detailed information transmitted over Wi-Fi networks they passed through.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Privacy experts and industry watchers said this was the first time an appeals court has ruled that it's illegal for a company to sniff out and collect private information from the Wi-Fi networks that provide Internet service to people at home. Google is also the first publicly known company to try.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"This appeals court decision is a tremendous victory for privacy rights. It means Google can't suck up private communications from people's Wi-Fi networks and claim their Wi-Spying was exempt from federal wiretap laws,\" said John M. Simpson, Consumer Watchdog's privacy project director. \"Because Google's Wi-Spy activity was so extensive, the potential damages could amount to billions of dollars.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Marc Rotenberg, executive director of Electronic Privacy Information Center, called it \"a landmark decision for Internet privacy.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"The court made clear that the federal privacy law applies to residential Wi-Fi networks,\" he said. \"Users should be protected when a company tries to capture data that travels between their laptop and their printer in their home.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A Google spokesperson said Tuesday that attorneys for the Internet giant are \"disappointed in the 9th Circuit's decision and are considering our next steps.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Attorney Elizabeth Cabraser, representing a class action of plaintiffs who say their privacy was invaded by Google, said Tuesday they look forward to resuming their case now that a federal appeals court has ruled in their favor.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Google has apologized for the snooping, which it says took place between 2008 and March 2010. It promised to stop collecting the data and said the practice, conducted in more than 30 countries, was inadvertent but not illegal.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Earlier this year Google settled a 37-state lawsuit for $7 million after attorneys general sued over what they said was an invasion of privacy for the data collection.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The practice was discovered by a German data protection commissioner in 2010. A few months later, Google co-founder Sergey Brin told conference-goers that the firm had made a mistake.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"In short, let me just say that we screwed up,\" he said at the time.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Google says it has disabled the equipment that was collecting the data, and agreed to destroy the information as soon as possible. The company is currently obliged to hold it, unused, because of ongoing litigation.\u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",
