Re: [WISPA] Justice Department Takes Aim at Image-Sharing Sites

2007-03-10 Thread Peter R.
If you ALL joined one organization you would have a well-funded group to 
fight this.


But most ISP's, WISP's, Hosts, and VoIP Providers don't pay for 
membership any where.
Great at bitching. Champion, PhD bitching, but actually put up time and 
money to make one single org work, not so much.


This industry - if you can even call it that - has a myriad of 
organizations mainly due to strong independent feelings. So instead of 
one really strong group representing, you have a scattering of smaller, 
less powerful associations. AASP, FISPA, Part-15, WISPA, TISPA, et al.


CLEC's used to have that problem with ALTS, ASCENT and a couple of 
others. Now they have just enough members for one - one really weak one.

The little guys get nailed instead, because we haven't got a raft of lawyers 
waiting around on retainer for something to do.

Wouldn't this be the equivalent of requiring all store owners to install 
surveillance cameras and retain the tapes for 2 years just in case law 
enforcement might need the footage for a conviction of some crime that 
may happen in the future?

yeah interesting quote...

Only universities and libraries would be excluded, one participant said.
There's a PR concern with including the libraries, so we're not going to
include them, the participant quoted the Justice Department as saying. We
know we're going to get a pushback, so we're not going to do that. 

How about we push back ? :)
