Ian Clarke, Ernie Miller On Free Speech, Privacy

mpawlo writes "I am still pursuing my new pastime, interviewing interesting Internet policy individuals for Greplaw. Fresh catches include Freenet creator Ian Clarke on his decision to leave the USA, free speech and Freenet and former Lawmeme editor-in-chief Ernest Miller on DRM and privacy, copyright and the First Amendment... and, of course, why blogs matter. Maybe this will provide some food for thought."

Re:Blogs matter?

Actually it said "blawgs" in my original submission and referred to law blogs, that is online journals dedicated to law and policy, rather than the daily life of your favorite pet. This is also the issue that Ernie Miller addresses in the interview.

Not only the US became mad. In would also like to remind you of the EU IPR enforcement directive that will be discussed as early as sept 11 in the europarl JURI committee.

"If this proposal becomes a reality, major companies from abroad can use 'intellectual property' regulations to gain control over the lives of ordinary European citizens and threaten digital freedoms", said Andy Muller-Maguhn.

"Hitler was TIme Magazines Man of the Year too. What is your point? "

His main point is that Prescott Bush was financing the Nazi war effort, in full knowledge of that fact, a full 10 months after the war had been entered by the USA. At that point in 1942 the "Trading With The Enemy Act" was invoked, and the Union Banking Corporation had its assets seized. Ol' boy Prescott was a senior director; executives included two Nazi officials. I would say "study your history" but this historical fact has been obscured and suppressed.

I guess his more important point is that there is evidence of a dynastic ideological continuity from grandfather to the current president, and so people should be prepared to experience a more subtle and complex rerun of Germany ca. 1932.
