These hearings look interesting, but it looks to me that the tide is against solutions which are helpful to society. I recently saw that the American Library Association is opposed to putting the Library of Congress online. They feel that publishers will retaliate by refusing to allow new books to enter the library system. I think it is time to come up with a different paradigm for our society than "intellectual property". On Monday March 15 at 10AM KQED's Forumn will have a panel discussion of "the NREN proposal" and related issues. Panelists will include EFF representatives, members of Al Gore's staff, and folks from Silicon Valley. Joe
