Damn the Constitution: Europe must take back the Web
Bill Thompson answers critics

smokey:
Well im happy that i can still buy a tcpa and palladium free computer. I will never buy one.

Doctor V:
I think that man is a crack-pot.  If Europeans don't want to be bound by American politics, then using what is referred to by him as "trusted computers" would be very very counterproductive.  Laws passed in USA such as DCMA seeping out and into other countrys could end up being a very big problem indeed, but I think a more carefully thought out solution than using Fritz chips or whatever to zone off the internet is necessary.  There are better, more efficient, and less restricting ways to get the job done.  What Bill Thompson suggests would only take control of the Internet out of one opressor's hands and put it into another's.

Ah yes, take back the web article. Dammit, that Bill Thompson guy just screams "I SUCK!".  

Seems very arrogant.

I like the internet being low on regulation, it should be a vortex. US values? Ummm not much difference. First world country is first world country.

He does have a good point with saying he doesn't like DMCA or censor software. However, when your in another country, do you have to listen to what some cry baby American(no offense) wants? They can't legally do shit... unless you do some major hacking and they cry to your government about it.

US shoulden't make the laws... NO ONE should be able to make the laws.

He disses William Gibson(well not majorily), he disses the US constitution, he disses the founding fathers(todays American politicians are alot less admirable), and he disses the US. Now I diss him.  ;)
