Ever wonder where groups like EPIC and FSF are when research groups like this are formed? How about some representation by people who actually know the curent state of technology and could help prevent embarrasements like the Universal movie trailer fiasco?
Actually I was speaking of meat-world lawyers to protect the rights of the online community/users against the various laws created/existing of their indigenous nation/state.
What if there were taxes?, what do you think they could be used for?
Lawyers for defense of online rights? Retirement accounts (subidised internet access/ web pages/servers?) etc...
Admittedly this virtual government thing may not be necessary for such an organization, but who would you trust? (i probably wouldn't trust a virtual nation startup without legally binding membership documents for where each resident lives...)
