Obama Affirms Commitment to Net Neutrality
,----[ Quote ]
| In a followup to his State of the Union
| address, the president said:
|
| Iâm a big believer in net neutrality.
| I campaigned on this. I continue to be
| a strong supporter of it. My FCC
| Chairman Julius Genachowski has
| indicated that he shares the view that
| weâve got to keep the Internet open,
| that we donât want to create a bunch
| of gateways that prevent somebody who
| doesnât have a lot of money but has a
| good idea from being able to start
| their next YouTube or their next
| Google on the Internet.

Parties Lobby FCC on Net Neutrality
,----[ Quote ]
| RIAA / MPAA
|
| The Recording Industry Association of
| America and the Motion Picture Association
| of America have an established love-hate
| relationship with the Internet. Perhaps
| more hate-hate. The recording and motion
| picture industries are still struggling to
| find their footing and adapt to a world
| where MP3's replaced CD's, and where
| streaming movies are replacing DVD's.
|
| Dating back to the early days of Napster,
| the RIAA and MPAA have lobbied for
| legislation and leveraged the court system
| to combat online piracy. In its filing on
| net neutrality with the FCC, the RIAA wrote
| "we encourage the FCC to stay its course
| and explicitly support, encourage, and
| endorse ISP efforts to fight piracy."
|
| EFF
|
| On the opposite end of the spectrum, the
| EFF (Electronic Frontier Foundation) is
| urging individuals to join its petition to
| convince the FCC to remove language from
| the proposed net neutrality guidelines
| which provide a legal loophole for the
| entertainment industry to "hijack the
| Internet."
