All Things Microsoft > Microsoft as a Company
A defence to a form of the TCPA?
Aegwyn:
Hmmm...
Has anyone here ever read a book called "Signal To Noise", by Eric S Nylund?
(OK, I'll understand it id you haven't, so I'll outline the general idea here)
After a series of catastrophic earthquakes, which destroy all of the major fiberoptic "pipes", etc., the American government decides to deal with the whole Net question by rebuilding all the pipes with monitors and filters on all of them, to filter out any non-American content, and to repress people's desires to go overseas, without business reasons. Any who try to go overseas, and are really serious about it, just get detained and have their minds f**ked with.
Is it just me, or is good ol' Mr. Thompson looking for a system just like this? Individual countries will have exculsive control over what comes in and out of their country. Can you even imagine what some European countries would do with that sort of control? For that matter, any country at all?
Remember no *country* is bad. Only people are bad, and even that is a perspective-based thing. America are no more repressive and facist than any European democracy. Maybe that should be thought about a little more.

Screw sony records. I went to but a Cd yesterday and saw:
"Will not play on PC/MAC"
My PC is the centre of my sound system so I guess I have no alternative than to download the whole album
Their loss, not mine...
Problem is I wanted the actual CD. :(

If everyone like you would send them a nasty email then maybe they will start getting the hint.
