A danger to free speech
Database, Published on 06/10/2010
» He may not know it, but Sen Patrick Leahy either greatly admires the Ministry of Internet Censorship of Thailand (MICT) and has decided to ape it, lock, stock and barrel, or he has accidentally re-invented the MICT wheel of Internet blockage; he introduced and pushed a bill that would do to almost all the Internet what the MICT only does to Thailand - block all access to numerous websites because they are harmful to national security; Sen Leahy and his many backers and admirers aren't talking about evil Thaksin and making fun of Abhisit, of course, they are talking about the evil digital piracy that makes fun of Hollywood and Microsoft; just like the Thai law, the Leahy bill would force all Internet service providers up and down the food chain to block access for the whole world to any site that facilitates piracy - no trial, no formal charges, and in this bill, no definition so far of "facilitates piracy"; the Electronic Frontier Foundation calls the Leahy bill "a danger to freedom of speech," but everyone knows the wimpy EFF always politely understates the obvious.

Buyers beware

» You bought it, you ... er, don't own it; so ruled the always entertaining US federal judges of the 9th Circuit of Appeals in San Francisco, anyhow; if you buy software, you can't resell it, because the software licence you didn't sign says so; the specific case involved a man who sold unopened software on eBay, which the judges said was only licensed to him (the buyer) and no way could he resell it; that goes against a 102-year-old ruling by the US Supreme Court that specifically allows resale of, well, anything once you purchase it legally (although only the original, of course, not copies); a new US interpretation would kill a lot of businesses, from movie rentals to used book stores.
