<font color="#333333"><font><font face="verdana,sans-serif">Hello<br><br><br>I came across a forwarded post in the ISOC Public Policy list by a researcher who has been collecting resources on </font></font></font>Search engine liability on defamation, copyright and Trade Mark.<font color="#333333"><font><font face="verdana,sans-serif"> </font></font></font><font color="#000000"><a href="http://t.co/TT1qKerW" target="_blank">pear.ly/-eAL</a> <br>
<br>This makes me wonder if there is enough done by the users to BALANCE the offensives by the Copyright and Trade Mark Lobbies on ISPs and Search Engines. The conventional method of user's support would be to defend existing policies of serach engines and ISPs to preserve the network as a "stupid' network, without judgement on the traffic passing through. <br>
<br>Wondering is there is a more effective way. What if Users adopt the same tactics, with a benevolent intent? What if Users mount an equally powerful, legitimate offensive on Search Engines, ISPs and Social Networks to assert that it is an offence by Search Engines, ISPs and Social Networks if they COMPROMISE on their knowledge of user's content and usage to favor the trademark and copyright lobby?<br>
<br>Users do not wish to have search Engines, Social Networks and ISPs to breach their information flow. If this benevloent 'offensive' is mounted on the companies, it would sufficiently balance the trademark and copyright offensive. (This would actually make it easier for the companies to defend themseles)<br>
<br>I wish to hear your reactions on this please.<br><br>Thank you<br><br></font><font color="#333333"><font><font face="verdana,sans-serif"><br clear="all"></font></font></font><div>Sivasubramanian M<br><div>ISOC India Chennai</div>
