It only took Wikipedia one day to teach the world that it will take a lot more than government bureaucrats to stop information and knowledge from circulating on the web.
The act of protest–shutting down the site–chilled the forces who were trying to push the anti-piracy legislation. Several other sites joined in.
Is there a compromise position? I think everyone’s entitled to the rights of their works. But this didn’t appear to be the right legislation.
What I think this week taught us — or maybe just me, I can’t speak for everyone — is that the real government is truly outside of the bureaucracy now. If we can influence decisions this way, could we begin to grab other powers away from the government, back to ourselves? That’s a question mark for a reason. There’s a fine line between collective intelligence and mob mentality. And that fine line is called knowledge.
Anyway. The web survived intact. And I was still able to do some online reading.
Here’s what I found…
