The Digital (formerly Electronic) Bill of Rights was developed by about fifty persons on the "Censorship" list and EFF, CPSR and various other newsgroups in 1995. Some very interesting persons participated in the drafting of this IMHO important document but it belongs to no-one. It is without copyright and was written for all citizens. I maintain the Digital Bill of Rights at our Web site <http://fcn.net> and respond to the occaisional suggestions for revisions. Like the change to "Digital" from electronic. Like the inclusion of a new first clause as follows: Digital Bill of Rights: = The right to participation, consultation, = oversight, representation and control over = network regulatory, administrative and = technical or governance organizations.

Au contraire it is like trying to convine people not to advance towards the cliff even if the norm is to do the lemming's rush to the mass extremination of civil liberties on these brave new media cliffs, the technophillic sacrifice of our human rights onto the cyber- rocks below and the collective extermination of whatever freedoms of expression we have all in the name of progress and THE INTERNET.
