Not (.net, or .org), and H.R. 4279 would create an IP <b>czar</b> at the DOJ? A czar?! This is ridiculous. The totalitarianism of this reeks, and that's the pungent smell of evil.

The emergent abilities of a global network -- and, more specifically, of a public with access to that network -- were not foreseen. We have them at a rare and vital moment of weakness; one in which their usual and known formulas have failed. But we must move fast. They are very adept at maintaining power, and the time will not last. We must be diligent, and move fast while we can. The elite are scrambling to patch the hole that is the internet.

The Patriot Act, Homeland Security and DMCA all contain very onerous surveillance provisions that allow any investigator to tap into your computer via the internet IP on your machine. I am a Ph.D. working on describing data-mining and surveillance technologies. My research reveals that the deal was done in the Homeland Security Act. The pieces of legislation above just close the door for any last minute challenges.

It's more like the highway system than a tall building. After 9/11 I began musing that the most vulnerable targets are ones with high potential energy and/or low entropy, e.g. sky scrapers and jet fuel. The internet, after all, was conceived as a thing that could survive attacks. The giant server farms might not be a good idea...
