it is not easy talk about freedom, safety, neutrality, cybercrime,
IP pirate, CISPA...with different interest... personal interest,
national interest... business interest of the stakeholders ...<br>
<br>
anything that are not following somebody interest will be bad and
sometimes considered as a crime ... cybercrime... <br>
<br>
"either you with me or against me....." <br>
<br>
this is the challenge for the future global dialog, not as easy
during the period of cerf when he started the Internet everybody has
one goal... ... regards, rudi rusdiah - apwkomitel (association of
