It is time the international community took a stand on Egypt's repeated violations of press freedom and the rights of Internet users...the United Nations should respond by disqualifying Egypt from hosting an Internet Governance Forum in 2009.They were protesting the arrest and imprisonment of a Blogger whose Internet views on Islamic history were deemed "holding religion in contempt" a crime in Egypt as it is in most Islamic Countries. See {66741}. The call for action by the United Nations was based on the fact that all member states of the UN have guaranteed to provide basic freedoms including the freedom of religion and the freedom of speech. However many Islamic nations have filed an "understanding: with the United Stations that are unknown to most people that says that nothing is required that would be against Sharia-Islamic Law which does provide the death penalty for heresy.]

As television and other communications become digital. There is a much easier method than government regulation which is that the parents have to take responsibility for blocking. In digital anything can be blocked-you can block and channel or any program. As technology advances, power will move into the hands of parents .... The government simply cannot substitute for the parents.

The Internet's open, neutral architecture has proven to be an enormous engine for market innovation, economic growth, social discourse, and the free flow of ideas. The remarkable success of the Internet can be traced to a few simple network principles - end-to-end design, layered architecture, and open standards -- which together give consumers choice and control over their online activities. This "neutral" network has supported an explosion of innovation at the edges of the network, and the growth of companies like Google, Yahoo, eBay, Amazon, and many others. Because the network is neutral, the creators of new Internet content and services need not seek permission from carriers or pay special fees to be seen online. As a result, we have seen an array of unpredictable new offerings - from Voice-over-IP to wireless home networks to blogging - that might never have evolved had central control of the network been required by design.

The current term of protection for software is the life of an author plus 70 years, or, if it's work-for-hire, a total of 95 years. This is a bastardization of the Constitution's requirement that copyright be for "limited times." By the time Apple's Macintosh operating system finally falls into the public domain, there will be no machine that could possibly run it. The term of copyright for software is effectively unlimited.

Consider a future device for individual use, which is a sort of mechanized private file and library. It needs a name, and to coin one at random, "memex" will do. A memex is a device in which an individual stores all his books, records, and communications, and which is mechanized so that it may be consulted with exceeding speed and flexibility. It is an enlarged intimate supplement to his memory...
