So it sounds like you are saying that the people do all the work of installing and maintaining their community ISP. The only involvement with the governmental part of the city is the city giving them permission to dig and build within city limits and on public property. Am I correct?
I'm certain the lawyers and lobbyists of big ISP probably know ways to twist the interpretation of the law to make it so that even the slightest involvement of the city governance makes it municipal instead of community.
Part of it is due to lack of training and vocabulary. Even when some ridiculously broad or vague patent is reviewed, it is sometimes filled with so much jargon that the person reading it has no clue what they are reading about.
Back then money/ currency was not as big of an idol as it is now. More of human history's greatest creative minds sought recognition for their works. They were proud of their works and wanted the world to see how wonderous there culture and society was. I doubt profiting from their works was a priority.
I am not one for filing copyrights or patents. I have the attitude of Nikola Tesla. Every picture I've taken, program I've written, and website I've published has always been marked with Creative Commons. When I was taking courses in website design, part of the instructions for each page is to put a copyright notice at the bottom. I put creative commons. The instructor said I was her first student to ever put CC.
Even if there is a ruling forcing encryption to have a government backdoor, there is always open-source. Vericrypt and CipherShed are such examples. If the government slips in some kind of backdoor, the community of programmers will notice and remove or not compile that variation. And if the government comes after them, move to Belize like RedFox did
Copyright never should have applied to the holders. That was well defined in the copyright clause of the US Constitution.
Article I Section 8. Clause 8 – Patent and Copyright Clause of the Constitution. [The Congress shall have power] “To promote the progress of science and useful arts, by securing for limited times to authors and inventors the exclusive right to their respective writings and discoveries.”
Key words being Authors and Inventors. The entire system is unconstitutional. Solid, irrefutable evidence right there in the US Constitution. Yet it was ignored. And as a result, built the corrupt system we have today.
Have a grudge against a website? Want them taken down? Make a post containing info on sex trafficking or worst yet child porn them report it to the authorities with a screenshot.
Considering how paranoid they are about videos and photo of themselves, I'm surprised they let the google SV car through without confiscating their hard drives.
I have heard that one of the reasons why both the federal government and big ISP are hesitant about challenging the 10th amendment is because if a state wins and does not have to abide by the regulation or law, then that puts every federal law and regulation at risk of being ignored or nullified on a state-by-state basis.
If you have a grudge against a particular site, go to a public WiFi hot spot, create a bogus account, post sex trafficking stuff on their forum, then report the site. "Bye, bye. There's your lesson for banning me."
