and as stef just taught me yesterday as part of a discussion of end to end
was that by having TCP stacks on both our machines that we control we
can pass ip datagrams across the network in such a way that a central
administrator can not control them. my stack does a checksum on what
you sent me and if the sum checks i know that the IP bit stream you
sent is what i received.
the lesson here is that the tools for control reside on the edge
machine on my desktop and the one on your desktop....and the pipe
connecting our desktops is empty.....it is just like one of those old
air blown pneumatic tubes.
forget laws ken, laws give someone the ability to insert a box in the
middle to interfere with our ip datagrams.....
read lessig on laws and cyberspace if you wanna know what laws are worth
or read the legend of the grands inquisitor from the brothers karamazov
ICANN is the inquisitor sent to rule over us
the inquisitor explains to christ why he will burn him at the stake.
christ routes around the inquisitor by kissing him on the cheek and
sending him out from the dungeon in seville into the night
air....effectively ignoring the threat....
