There's no stopping ELVIS PRESLEY, even when he's dead. Twenty-five years after his demise, a song Elvis released in 1968 is set to hit No. 1 in the U.K. this week.

The E.U. directive, too, offers little explicit protection for computer scientists, says intellectual-property law expert Thomas Vinje. "I would not want to be representing them." That's bad news for researchers like Dutch cryptographer Niels Ferguson. Last year, he wrote a paper detailing weaknesses in an Intel encryption system. Fearful of legal liability in the U.S. if a hacker used his work to exploit those flaws, Ferguson chose not to publish. He calls the situation "Orwellian": "Given the problems we have with lack of computer...
