Editor's Note: This is a copy of the briefing as it went out to subscribers of What's Next. After it was sent, the hearing mentioned in the top item, “Watch This Space: Sealed Now…and Forever?” was moved from May 3 to August 16.

Hello What's Next readers and welcome to another update on the future of law. This week, we look at a case that could pull back the curtain on U.S. government digital surveillance and get an update on the Net Neutralitywars. Plus, we check in with what's happening in that “insider trading” case against Coinbase, and get a pretty gruesome dose of dystopia.

Tips? Event announcements? Thoughts on whether a merged T-Mobile/Sprint should stick with a pink logo? (My vote: Yes.) Drop me a line over email at [email protected] or on Twitter: @benghancock.
