I believe that this whole discussion boils down to one comment I just saw on ZDNET: "Yes, our government is trying to censor the web. So is the UK. Our corrupt officials have sold our government to the highest bidder, and it is now operated by the rich for the rich... and they fear an American Spring(**) like the ones now being celebrated throughout the middle east. After crushing the citizens under heel for so long, they see what open communications have brought in Arabian countries and fear the same here. Thus, the land of the free and it's free speech must become a thing of the past so that the rich can continue to get richer and the poor may be oppressed more easily. Perhaps I am becoming a cynical old man as I watch them disassemble my constitution, but these are sad times : sad times indeed. Regards, Jon" (**) which is already happening !! I think that this is what they want to stop. People are becoming aware of things, not through official statements, PBS, the State of the Union Address or mainstream media, but through each other! Fast and uncensored ! And from any point of the planet. Facts that would never come to public awareness otherwise.And this knowledge is empowering people to take to the streets knowing exactly why. Copyright, laws, intellectual property and legal jargons are nothing but smoke and mirrors. -- Mario Lobo http://www.mallavoodoo.com.br FreeBSD since 2.2.8 [not Pro-Audio....
