The article above, entitled "American People Ruled Unfit to Govern," is a
comic report of a supposed U.S. Supreme Court decision in which the
people of the United States were ruled too incompetent to represent
themselves and had the right to vote taken away.
I laughed until I saw how close it comes to reflecting some of the
constituency proposals that will be presented to ICANN in Berlin. Owners
of intellectual property who are not entitled to meaningfully participate
in the IP constituency? Organizations suggesting that they alone
represent the collective voice of the IP world? If I weren't seeing these
things develop, I'd think I had just read another piece on the Onion.
