I have a simple solution that bypasses all of this. Every
computer on the web should transmit its ID and exact
location with every transaction it generates. That
transmission should come at the "ISP" level, and include
access to Personal information about the user. That
way, when someone pushes a new virus or whatever,
we can pay him a little visit ... sort of like a cop stopping
a speeder on our public roads. I don't see any problem
at all with applying our traffic laws to the computer
industry .. including licensing of users. Personally I
think that no one under the age of 35 should be allowed
to touch a computer that is attached to the internet.
I think licensed users should be required to take a
"driving" test every 2 years .. both written and on
the web. And I think a valid login license card should
be required for a user to even turn his system on.
I also think that the net cops should be allowed to
turn his system off until he reports in person to a local
Magistrate and explains what he was doing .. at which
time, the Judge could pull his access card if need be.
Even better .. if someone wishes to "travel" across
our borders, they should be required to present border
access agents with a photo id registered with our Federal
Government at the time of passage. And even more
better .. If that individual is an "outsorced" employee
of a company physically located on our soil, the
transmission should be assessed a tax for the use of
our tax-supported networks. In particular, if that
transmission involves payment of saleries to this employee
I think that a percentage of that salery, depending on
the country that it came from, should be returned to
the American taxpayer to repay debts those countries
have incurred to us during past wars and other
emergencies. The Internet is a business. It should be
guided by the laws that govern any business.
