In an effort to refrain from posting political tid-bits on my mind on AV, i'll post them here because (a) that is not the direction I wish to take with AV and (b) my ramblings will probably reach more people here on MySpace. So here is blog one:

Net neutrality: If you dont know what those two words mean and you value MySpace or any other website you visit regularly please please please read this very through WikiPedia article (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Net_neutrality) - if nothing else just read the first line atleast. Then continue below.
Currently there is a bill stalled in the Senate
and thankfully so that would outright allow the creation of a two tiered web. Forget, the creation of giants such as YouTube and MySpace from scratch because the big players will simply cut deals with the Internet Service Providers to not allow the little dogs to become big.
But, what I love is the idiocy used bye Lisa Sutherland (in the middle of the article) to suggest that by not having any sort of law we are at a worse position.
Madam Sutherland I'd like to say: No protection is better than complete control. Let me live by my own will - I do not need you to take care of me.
To anyone who reads this, please continue to support organizations such as
MoveOn.org and
ItsOurNet.org in helping to curtail the passing of this bill.
