"The world - and the media especially - is changing at internet speed and the pressures are immense. Those in leadership positions who do not adapt fast enough to change of whatever kind will end up being overtaken by it," he (Gowers) wrote.
So everyone is moving to internet media? What is your point? FT.com has been around for years, so it will just overtake itself?
Believe it or not, there will always be people who buy newspapers, especially while commuting. Internet access is not as ubiquitous today as it maybe should be, but for now, people will still buy newspapers for the sheer convenience of them. Look at online books, they really have not taken off that well, maybe it is because people actually like books?
Guy sounds a tad bitter to me after suffering 'immense pressures' at the Financial Times.

I will never open my email or install anything on a PC again, I will become a self-contained unit. I am a rock I am an island. And a rock feels no pain, and and island never gets phished.
CEO Scott VanDeVelde doesn't deny this. "I don't feel like there's a need to wipe the slate clean," he says. "Our technologies are dead center of where the market is going."
The spyware wars are over - and spyware has won."
Why does this quote sound oddly familiar?
Agent Smith: We're willing to wipe the slate clean, give you a fresh start. All that we're asking in return is your cooperation in bringing a known terrorist to justice.
Neo: Yeah. Well, that sounds like a pretty good deal. But I think I may have a better one. How about, I give you the finger
[Neo flips off Agent Smith]
Neo:...and you give me my phone call.
"The diverse organizations also warned that the expanded eavesdropping rules represent only the beginning of what will become a broader effort to regulate the Internet."
Is this to fight terrorists or to regulate the internet? or both?
How much privacy are people willing to give up in order to fight a war without a clear enemy?
Who should control the domains and the naming rights? Why would anyone/country/business want to relinquish control of something they created/initiated/started just because it is something that everyone now uses? Is it illegal to retain control of something that you invented, that is now extremely popular? Would they do it for the good of the world? (not that I am against that, just trying to make a point)
For example, it could be argued that the Windows O/S must now be under international control since so many people are using it and it would be unfair for others not to have an input in how they use it. They have already profited from it enormously, so it is time to release it to the world to share, tweak, and restructure as they please. Microsoft has no right to have so much control over something that 85-90% of the world's computers now use on a daily basis. Do you think this a good analogy?
Yeah 'the man' in some respects, but if Jerry were alive today, I doubt he would mind anyone sharing his music. The Dead made millions after 1987...this seems to be the tipping point. The youthful idealism of the 60s and 70s is gone. Once artists grow older and have kids, their views on the world start to change, including views about money and their music as a business, not a hobby.
I would like to know what the band members think, why they are so torn up about this? Is it them, their lawyers, or both? Do they feel they are being cheated? Did they care about profits in 1975? Was the song 'Money Money' really necessary? Okay, that last question was just my own curiousity.
--It's only bucks, you don't need no jack.
--So won't you please relax and lay way back.
I am willing to be someone was downloading the music and selling it and they got pissed. Who knows? Only the family knows, but its too bad that they just didn't leave it alone. Once artists get older, they change. Youthful idealism goes out the window and making money becomes the modus operandi.
---Driftin' & dreamin'....maybe going on a dream. Sure don't know what I'm going for, but I'm gonna go for it for sure. --Remember those lines?
ICANN is under the administration of the US Department of Commerce, so ultimately the US will control it. As to whether they are giving undue influence, that is to be debated. I would assume that many countries who are unhappy with the US influence are also unhappy with the current Bush administration. President Bush is currently unpopular in the US as well as the world, and this may be contributing to the sentiment.
But to be fair, we have to ask ourselves:
Who invented the internet? DARPA, US
Who invented the digital circuit? Claude Shannon, US
Who invented the silicon chip? Bell Labs, US
Who invented the bipolar transistor? Bell Labs, US
These examples are not a reason that the US should control it, just some things to think about. If you invented something as powerful as the internet, would you just want to give away control of it? It is a hard thing to take a stand on.
I would honestly like to know what Bob has to say about all of this, he seems to be a pretty fair person, loaded or not. I actually met Bob once backstage and he was a very pleasant and friendly guy, he answered all of my stupid deadhead questions - with no hesitation at all. After that conversation, it made me like the Dead even more.
Phil and Jerry tend to think alike, I am not so sure about the rest of the band.
It's a shame it only took 10 years for the rest of the band to start squabbling about downloading their music. They are all very wealthy and probably get many things for free from their beloved fans, so why not return the favour?
"once we're done with [the music], you can have it." - Jerry Garcia
Bassist Phil Lesh echoed that sentiment--quoting Garcia in an interview with Charlie Rose on CBS's 60 Minutes in 2004: "Jerry put it the best, as he frequently did, 'Let 'em have it. When we play it, we're done with it."

The Dead also released a disclaimer about their live music:
MP3 STATEMENT TO MP3 SITE OPERATORS
The Grateful Dead and our managing organizations have long encouraged the purely non-commercial exchange of music taped at our concerts and those of our individual members. That a new medium of distribution has arisen - digital audio files being traded over the Internet - does not change our policy in this regard.
Our stipulations regarding digital distribution are merely extensions of those long-standing principles and they are as follows:
No commercial gain may be sought by websites offering digital files of our music, whether through advertising, exploiting databases compiled from their traffic, or any other means.
All participants in such digital exchange acknowledge and respect the copyrights of the performers, writers and publishers of the music.
This notice should be clearly posted on all sites engaged in this activity.
We reserve the ability to withdraw our sanction of non-commercial digital music should circumstances arise that compromise our ability to protect and steward the integrity of our work.
Jerry Garcia did not care about people taping or downloading their music, he thought any live show could be shared and traded by anyone for their personal use, but not to copy and sell for profit. I would think the rest of the band would respect his wishes. Long live Jerry.

I remember seeing 5/8/77 Cornell on a bootleg disc in a record store, that made me laugh.
The PT Barnum quote would apply here, since they can just as easily download the music. But some people just have no idea.
Good points and thanks for responding...the internet is too big for anyone's britches right now, it is an entity on to itself.
You forgot to mention another wonderful British invention for internet geeks....Altoids.

On a side note, I have many Dead bootlegs, but I have actually purchased Dick's Picks in order to help support the band, and to get an undoubtedly clean copy direct from the master tapes.
