Who could take a name like that seriously? Sounds too much like -wimp-. Imagine, the fear it would strike into the hearts of pirates to hear that the jackbooted WIMPO strikeforce is coming for them next
But seriously, some internation coperation is in order for the internet, but not regulation.
What happens say, if there is material offensive to established governments hosted at a site such as HavenCo, and the UN decides to go bust some heads (and some equipment)?
napster has a no bot policy in effect therefore, any use of this program is illegal well, i'm not sure if it is illegal, but it does violate the agremenet when people sign on any use of information gathered in this method should not therefore be valid
Perhaps one of the coolest dorms that I saw was the computer science house at the rochester institute of technology. I applied there, was accepted (but did not go), and toured their dorm. They had computers hanging off of the walls because there was no where else to put them. They have a pop machine that you pay for over the ethernet, computer controlled lighting, dual redundant internal ethernet switch, tons of bandwith, etc.
Yahoo rated this as the country's most wired dorm, and it does live up to that rating. See: http://www.zdnet.com/yil/content/college/colleges9 9/mostwired.html
Even ignoring the legalities of the GPL, there is also the Freedom of Information Act. I know that this has been used to gather information from the government on HREF/Tempest monitoring. A quick search lead me to the ACLU's site on the FOIA. One of the qualifications for releasing information listed was:
"Internal manuals written for the agency's staff that affect members of the public" Sounds like we could at least get the instructions.
This document ( http://www.aclu.org/library/foia.html ) did just parse the actual act, and I did not look at the origional to see what all the conditions were that could qualify the source for release. The first exemption in the FOIA is national security, and trade secrets is another. Both of these could to defend against release.

Definetly not a good thing.
