Often these laws are against those who are not citizens of the US, but are considered dangerous to the US. They affect you, I and the average man not one iota. > If you consider the > Patriot act (moving towards Patriot-II) or DMCA it's not unthinkable > that the a more US-controlled net will be subjected to new forms of > regulation. FUD. The US has not censored the content of the Internet. Many, many other countries do censor what can be accessed. I'm for the continuing status quo. I see no need to change that. *If* things were to change then I would support the removal of the root servers from those holding them, but until such point in time, there is no reason. Is all this liberal/lefty Bush bashing really getting us anywhere though?? Regs. Iain.
