I'll just repeat what many others have already said: don't fix what isn't broke. Do you have a TECHNICAL reason for wanting to change the current situation? Is there some problem that gets fixed once we move ICANN under UN influence?

I doubt it was Prince himself doing the searching. Prince is plenty rich enough that he is probably paying someone to do the searching.
Having worked for an online kids entertainment company, I can tell you that part of the job responsibility of the 2 full time lawyers was to scour the net looking for any and all references to their company name and images. Also, no surprise this company was owned by a Scientologist, with all upper management being part of the cult too.
that the current state of technology does not allow for reasonable modifications to a site to be disabled-accessible? Using a brick & mortar comparison: I'm guessing the percentage of the total cost of an average fast food restaurant to make it disabled-accessible is less than 10%. When that cost is 150%, then we have placed an undue burden and hardship on that business.
I'm all for disabled-accessible sites, but until the technology/standards evolve it is not reasonable to expect sites to pay one and a half times the cost of their site to make it disabled-accessible.
Your post is modded -0- right now. I guess personal anecdotes are welcomed on/., unless you're saying something the linux zealots don't want to hear. Sad.
Yes, this is awesome. I plan on getting a couple degrees from MIT, and now Berkley, but I'm busy downloading the Transformers. I need another connection.
This is what happens when people with too much time and hyper-morality decide to, rather than actually do something useful, break out their mobile pulpit from which they proclaim to everyone else what is right and wrong. Absolute Moral Authority: just quit your quest for it already...
"With an untrusted viewer and scripting on, a video could easily launch this attack."
Could, is not does. The GP was simply asking for any evidence (you know, actual cases) of FlashVideo being used as a vector for attack. Two categories: possible attacks & actual attacks. Let's be clear which one we mean.
from under all these youngsters who, by default, frame every relationship as a parent-child one. No, son, Apple is not your daddy and is not abusing you. There, just saved you all a ton in therapy bills.
Plenty of us/.'ers are old enough to have bought CD's in 1985 and '86. Like the others here, all of mine work just fine, except for the occasional deep scatch, or one where sand got in the case with it.:)

"But surely the question is all about politics?"
Probably the best reason not to give this issue any energy.

Seems like you've read some Bill Whittle. If not, I highly recommend.

Yes, that's what we need, MORE triangle!
I think the piano is the only instrument that doesn't need frequent tuning. Maybe you picked the wrong instrument!

No need for the sneer quotes, unless you are a nanny-stater who condones this type of governmental intrusiveness.
"This aspect of the law is routinely ignored on Slashdot to try and enhance the "evil" reputation of the law."
I think the law, just on a general level, earns its evil reputation well enough. So they used a condom, but they still buggered you.
