  Don’t take the Internet for granted, Internet Society warns #INET #IPv6 @InternetSociety 

  23 Frankfurt 2011, FRANKFURT – The Internet Society warned today that taking the Internet for granted would be one of the surest ways to ruin it.

  At its INET conference in Frankfurt on the threats, challenges and opportunities facing the Internet, the Internet Society cautioned users that they would take it for granted at their peril.

  “The future success of the Internet is heavily dependent on its openness, access and transparency,” said Frederic Donck, director of the Internet Society’s European Regional Bureau. “Remove any of these core attributes, and the Internet will be become virtually useless as a platform for communication and innovation.”

  The Internet Society called on all users to take urgent steps to ensure that the future development of the Internet takes a course that is in the best interests of everyone.

  Video: Eben Moglen Fosdem 2011 Keynote #freeculture 

  Eben Moglen was a keynote speaker at FOSDEM 2011, a free and open software developer conference, in Brussels earlier in the month. He took the opportunity, a year to the day after after his ISOC-NY talk Freedom in the Cloud, to further elaborate on, advocate for, and call for contributions to, his ‘freedom box‘ concept – a distributeded personal webserver based social network. Regardless of the privacy concerns that drove the original idea recent events in the Middle East have served as an eye-opener as to the vulnerability of centralized systems.

  In contrast to Feb 15’s Hillary Clinton speech about Internet Freedom on Feb. 16 2011,  the Senate Committee on the Judiciary held a hearing entitled “Targeting Websites Dedicated To Stealing American Intellectual Property“. This was a followup to last year’s shelving of the COICA Act and the recent DHS-ICE site seizures – which some consider to be of dubious legality. Witnesses include representatives of the Authors Guild, Go Daddy, Verizon, and Visa. There was be a webcast.

  Witness Statements

  Scott Turow – Authors Guild
  Christine Jones – Go Daddy
  Thomas Dailey – Verizon
  Denise Yee – Visa
