An implicit threat to use government to regulate the industry.
I could do the same thing with the Progress and Freedom Foundation or the National Empowerment TV group you mentioned, but what's the point? These people are not libertarians! And grouping them into something called the "leave-us-alone" coalition is a fraud.
PFF would like to be more libertarian than conservative, though they've been quieter recently after many of their staff members left. I'm thinking of going to their Aspen conference next month, but I hear that it's been going downhill. I've been on National Empowerment TV a few times, and they're hardcore conservatives, not libertarians. The Family Research Council's Cathy Cleaver has her own show on there where she rants about how we need more government censorship of the Net. -Declan ------------------------- Declan McCullagh Time Inc.
