[Chapter-delegates] VIDEO: Brad Burnham – A Narrative on the Threat to Internet Freedom

[Joly MacFie]

The WCIT in Dubai today ends in an impasse, as the the USA, ISOC, and
others insist on upholding the "Internet model". Why is it so important? In
this talk, 3 weeks ago in the ISOC-NY sponsored Computers & Society series
at NYU, venture capitalist Brad Burnham explains the new network paradigm,
and the role of regulation therein.  Find an hour to watch and listen, and
you will be a deal wiser.

The Internet is fundamentally transforming the entire global economy by
making it possible for anyone, anywhere to create services quickly and
inexpensively and reach a global market immediately. The Internet has
opened up markets and unleashed innovation at a scale never seen before.
But now that freedom to innovate is being threatened.

A year ago, internet users fought back spectacularly to fend off PIPA and
SOPA-- two pieces of overreaching copyright legislation—and sent a clear
message to policy makers that a frontal assault on Internet freedoms would
not work. But no user can track all of the regulatory efforts to limit
Internet freedom being put forward in international treaties, state
capitals or municipal ordinances. Brad provides a model for evaluating the
many efforts to "civilize" the Internet from the perspective of who is
really helped and who is harmed by each new regulation.
