That McCain technology policy

08/27/2008 by simoncollister Leave a Comment

Further to my previous post, I appreciate this is more Weinberger (not in itself a bad thing) but it *is* relevant to the post below about copyright.

Weinberger flags Republican presidential candidate John McCain’s technology policy which, in Weinberger’s words, shows that:

  1. He’s flat against Net neutrality.
  2. He wants to see copyright extended and enforced more vigorously.
  3. He thinks the current infrastructure only needs a couple of tweaks.

So there you have it. Not only are large corporations trying to protect IP through greater enforcement and tighter controls on the Internet, but politicians are now looking to curry with corporations. That’s when we really need to start worrying!
