is a saying... 'the boss is always right'... so is hegemony, always
right... because they make the rule so their saying is always right :-)<br>

so regarding IPR, priority watch list, censorship, wiretapping... if
you are the boss then you may with reason of course,... if not,then you
are against the rule :-)<br>

[Wsis-pct] Obama calls for free Internet in China... is Internet really
free afterall ? : For Information: IGF 2009 event rattled by UN
Security Office<br>
</font><br>
Internet is not as free after all, every country in the world has <br>
censorship policy and wiretapping policy of its own...<br>
<br>
Not all countries block access to particular Internet sites. (The US<br>
does not.) It is true that many countries have such policies or are<br>
trying to establish them. This is an injustice no matter where it is<br>
done, and no matter what the excuse.<br>
<br>
Obama does not favor an "open internet". Outside of countries such as<br>
China, the nastiest form of restriction of the internet is the War on<br>
Sharing, which Obama supports. So he is being hypocritical here.<br>
<br>
How should we respond to his hypocrisy? Should we reject criticism of<br>
China, just because someone who also does wrong joins in the<br>
criticism? Certainly not! What we should do is criticize the US<br>
_also_.<br>
<br>
Evil of one kind in country A does not excuse evil of another kind in<br>
country B.<br>
<br>
How about also free software movement... freeing people from
monopoly <br>
licensing of proprietary (IPR)<br>
<br>
I agree with the sentiment, but it is not good to use the term "IPR".<br>
It doesn't refer to anythin coherent. What it SEEMS to mean is a<br>
false picture of actual laws, and a false idea of their motives.<br>
