ICANN Meeting off to Shaky Start in Uruguay

Posted by michael on from the arm-wrestling-for-global-control dept.

JoeGee writes: "Reuters is reporting that the quarterly meeting of ICANN got off to a very shaky start in Montevideo, Uruguay on Friday September 8th. Protesters claim that ICANN's domain registration policies are creating a "digital divide". A special telephone party line created for members who could not be present at the meeting went unused. ICANN seems to be internalizing the turmoil that has surrounded the non-profit corporation since its inception in 1998."

    You have the right to try to use dark cable.
    You have the right to tech support. If you wish, a customer support tech will be appointed.
    You have the right against unreasonable search of your computer, unless we want to.
    You have the right to be fsck'ed by large corporations with the DMCA.
    You have the right to remain silent by unplugging your network conection.

    Well, that's more of a computer Miranda than a bill of rights.
