In effect, it becomes "ComcastNet" or "VerizonNet".<br /><br />Secondly, looking at the links you posted, the EFF has not called for anything like what you've accused them of. Perhaps you are reading through lenses of your own preconceived ideas. If you remove those lenses, you may have to issue a retraction.lnxwalthttp://lnxwalt.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37798047.post-85673380748861622482013-07-15T16:46:47.619-04:002013-07-15T16:46:47.619-04:00I think it's a lot less cut-and-dry than you m...I think it's a lot less cut-and-dry than you make it out to be.<br /><br />Based on the first quote, it looks like they're stating that there is a problem, not proposing a solution (yet).<br /><br />The second quote sounds like they're for regulating the use of exploits, not the distribution.<br /><br />It sounds like you've already made your decision on this matter before considering the evidence.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37798047.post-69754691649346551932013-07-15T13:36:14.565-04:002013-07-15T13:36:14.565-04:00And yet they're the only org in the field that...And yet they're the only org in the field that continues to stand up against overbroad export regulations... https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2011/10/it%E2%80%99s-time-know-your-customer-standards-sales-surveillance-equipmentAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37798047.post-19318087819753018432013-07-15T10:11:24.134-04:002013-07-15T10:11:24.134-04:00Net Neutrality is a requirement of a truly soverei...Net Neutrality is a requirement of a truly sovereign Internet.

Theoretically, you could extend this law<br /><br />That second clause, good god. I mean, it screams that no one except the government has any right to bear cyber arms. OH but wait, not just the government, but the corporations that pay for the privilege of being able to use such things in their own defense. So, Americans have no right to defend themselves but corporate entities do? Welcome to the plutocracy, shut up and enjoy your stay.<br /><br />Now, I'm not even an American but this makes me sick to the core that old, rich men are allowed to do such things by the rest of America. But that's democracy for you: concentrate all the popular stupidity in one place. Perhaps the philosophes were right, enlightened despotism is the right way?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
