E-G8, no, internet doesn't need to be moralized!

When we talk about the danger of the internet, you can talk about how it's a danger for your private life, you can talk about the danger of hacking, even the theory of a cyberwar, but this are all somehow special cases. But with the e-G8, comes a new danger on the internet, the control of it.   

The e-G8, requested by the president Nicolas Sarkozy, has taken place the 24th and 25th of May 2011, in France. the president started it with this words:

"Don't let the technology you made harm your children, convey the evil and threaten security and intellectual property. "

When they saw the way it turns, NGOs improvised a press conference, asking the members of the e-G8 to take a position for the free access to internet for every one, to stop the oversight of internet and to promote the freedom of speech.

If people start to trace the same model of laws on the internet, with the same principles than before the internet, it looks like they are going against what's defined today this technology: A univers with majors and influent actors, but without any central regulation, and therefore, free!

One of the major subject during the e-G8 was the intellectual property, there is something we can oppose to that, the right of freedom of communication. The intellectual work is becoming very easy to share, today, the politics, specially during the e-G8 assimilate the act of copy on the internet to an act of forgery.

But if this copy is free, if internet allows people to share so easily, that means we are into a new economic model, and forgery is not forgery anymore. You have to know if the first principle is the economic compensation for an intellectual work, or the freedom of speech.
