Your November 3, 2005 comments below are totally without standing in historical fact. The WWW was built on the internet text pages, the internet being built on
the ARPANET which was developed for the government of the USA for the use of its military but later expanded to allow people in academia etc. to use it. The
USA government was instrumental in trying to getting ATT, which is now out of business to run the ARPANET etc. for the use of the public in 1969 but ATT turned
the USA government down twice claiming that there was no commercial value. The USA government has also been active in pushing the use and development of the
WWW as its funding, research and the number of its own pages speak to.

That is a shame, because there are three things that we need to
understand about the web. First, it is more amazing than we think.
Second, the conjunction of technologies that made the web successful
was extremely unlikely. Third, we probably would not create it, or
any technology like it, today. In fact, we would be more likely to
cripple it, or declare it illegal.

There was nothing amazing in that we had both the intellect and the technology.
The conjunction of technologies insured that the web’s success would be likely.
We are seeing nothing that proves the point in this country that the WWW would be seen as illegal. We certainly are at a juncture where the exclusivity ideas of the
past have now clashed forever with the need for Free Culture.

Very pertinent to our cause, IMHO. If the content industry or anyone for that matter knew how big a hit the web would be, they would have crippled it. We should all thank our lucky stars and respective deities.
