Scott -- i would agree if the proposed solutions were sane.
The offered "vision" is pretty much the negation of what
made Internet so successful. Sure, bring in suits and
lawyers, institute centralized control, replace engineers
who _do_ things with engineers whose only qualification is
willingness to use the strangulation device. *That* sure
will make Internet users happy as clams.
Let's get real.

> Actually i don't understand what his motivation is.
I think the answer to that is simple - he wants the net to be seen
as working to the users and fears that is not now the case (in some
places) and that the "not the case" will spread before it gets better.
his is a case where I think he is doing what he thinks is the right thing
(not always the case with some of the commenters about the net :-) )
