Tim B-L says “This is serious” June 22, 2006

I tend to have a kind of “faith” that once the technology has been invented, then it generates a momentum of its own which will obey certain natural laws regardless of individual human motives. So once the internet existed, it was pretty much inevitable that people were going to communicate and collaborate across international and corporate boundaries, and that any attempts to stifle or steal ownership of this could always be circumvented, sidestepped or innovated around. If somebody did manage to completely clamp down on the present internet then we’d just set up another one wouldn’t we? Well maybe I’m being over optimistic. Tim Berners Lee says it’s serious:

When I invented the Web, I didn’t have to ask anyone’s permission. Now, hundreds of millions of people are using it freely. I am worried that that is going end in the USA.
