It makes me wish that link 3 weren&#8217;t so depressing as, at least if there were a common framework of law for acts committed electronically, we&#8217;d be able to approach it as a single entity, fighting for changes on one front rather than upon literally hundreds of fronts.  It&#8217;s perhaps a bit naive to think that a single body of law would fix things &#8211; I&#8217;m certain that it would not; however, just having a common body of law might at least arrive at some least-restrictive body, rather than states and countries deciding what is appropriate for their own citizens even though those citizens are committing acts in a jurisdiction which would seem to be outside of the country, or in no country.\n<\/p>\n<p class=Indent><b>Museum \/ Library \/ Archive<\/b>:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<!-- 1 \/\/ --><\/p>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/nathan.torkington.com\/blog\/2011\/11\/23\/libraries-where-it-all-went-wrong\/\" target=_blank>Libraries: Where It All Went Wrong<\/a>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<small>28 November 2011, 3:57 am<\/small><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p class=Indent><b>Open Access<\/b>:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<!-- 1 \/\/ --><\/p>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.indexoncensorship.org\/2011\/11\/science-medicine-secrecy-drug-studies-lives-risk\/\" target=_blank>Drug study secrecy puts lives at risk<\/a>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<small>29 November 2011, 12:40 am<\/small><\/li>\n<p><!-- 2 \/\/ --><\/p>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.indexoncensorship.org\/2011\/11\/climate-change-secrecy-freedom-information\/\" target=_blank>Secrecy in science \u2013 an argument for open access<\/a>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<small>29 November 2011, 12:25 am<\/small><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>Here&#8217;s an interesting concept: open access is actually just arguing against censorship.

I&#8217;m also certain that those in power, as they live behind their security fences (link 3), and as they attempt to maintain their stranglehold on information distribution (link 4), aren&#8217;t listening to much of what the Occupy movement has to say.
