MPAA to Obama: censor the Internet, kick people off the Internet, break other
countries' Internet

Tim Jones of the Electronic Frontier Foundation has some good commentary on the news that the MPAA has asked Obama to
spy on the entire Internet, and to establish a system where being accused of copyright infringement would result in loss
of your Internet connection (and your VoIP line, your access to your university, your lifeline to your parents in the
old country, your means of participating in civic life, your means of fighting your parking ticket, etc etc etc). The
MPAA also wants Obama to lean on other countries (notably Canada!) and force them to adopt US copyright laws.
