| Internet Giants Tells US Not To Follow Malayia Posted: 15 Dec 2011 07:35 AM PST The founders of Google, Twitter, Yahoo! eBay and other Internet giants expressed concern to the US Congress over legislation intended to crack down on online piracy. They warned that the proposed legislation will give Washington the power to censor the Internet, much like that employed by China, Malaysia and Iran. The Stop Online Piracy Act has received some bipartisan support in the House of Representatives and is the House version of a bill introduced in the Senate known as the Theft of Intellectual Property Act, or Protect IP Act. The legislation has received the backing of Hollywood, the music industry, the Business Software Alliance, the National Association of Manufacturers, the US Chamber of Commerce and other groups. But it has come under fire from digital rights and free speech organisations for allegedly paving the way for US authorities to shut down websites, including foreign sites, without due process and threatening the architecture of the Web. The founders of the leading Internet companies added their voices to the chorus of opposition against the bills in an open letter to Congress published Wednesday in several US newspapers, including The Washington Post, The New York Times and The Wall Street Journal. “We’ve all had the good fortune to found Internet companies and nonprofits in a regulatory climate that promotes entrepreneurship, innovation, the creation of content and free expression online,” they said in the letter. “However, we’re worried that the Protect IP Act and the Stop Online Piracy Act – which started out as well-meaning efforts to control piracy online – will undermine that framework,” they said. The legislation threatens to “require Web services, like the ones we helped found, to monitor what users link to, or upload,” they said, warning that this would have a “chilling effect on innovation.” Deny right of due process They said the bills would also “deny website owners the right to due process” and “give the US government the power to censor the Web using techniques similar to those used by China, Malaysia and Iran.” “We urge Congress to think hard before changing the regulation that underpins the Internet,” they said. “Let’s not deny the next generation of entrepreneurs and founders the same opportunities that we all had.” Signatories to the letter included Netscape co-founder Marc Andreessen, Google co-founder Sergey Brin, Twitter co-founders Jack Dorsey, Biz Stone and Evan Williams, Flickr co-founder Caterina Fake, Yahoo! co-founders David Filo and Jerry Yang, LinkedIn co-founder Reid Hoffman, YouTube co-founder Chad Hurley, PayPal co-founder Elon Musk, Craigslist founder Craig Newmark, eBay founder Pierre Omidyar and Wikipedia founder Jimmy Wales. - AFP An Open Letter to Washington However we're worried that the Protect IP Act and the Stop Online Piracy Act — which started out as well-meaning efforts to control piracy online — will undermine that framework. These two pieces of legislation threaten to: Require web services, like the ones we helped found, to monitor what users link to, or upload. This would have a chilling effect on innovation; Deny website owners the right to due process of law; We urge Congress to think hard before changing the regulation that underpins the Internet. Let's not deny the next generation of entrepreneurs and founders the same opportunities that we all had. Marc Andreessen, co-founder of Netscape and Andreessen Horowitz |
| Tak Kira Apa Keputusan,Saya Akan Lawan Demi Keadilan Posted: 14 Dec 2011 10:54 PM PST Selepas pernah berada di penjara selama enam tahun, Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim bertekad akan terus berjuang demi keadilan tidak kisah bakal keputusan kes liwat, yang akan diumumkan 9 Januari depan. "Ia tidak berbeza, di penjara ataupun di luar, saya akan berjuang untuk keadilan," kata beliau kepada pemberita di kompleks mahkamah Jalan Duta di sini, di akhir sesi penggulungan kes peringkat pembelaan, tengah hari ini. Ketua Pembangkang ini menambah, beliau pernah melalui kehidupan di penjara dan mendapati ia bukan sesuatu yang sukar untuk dilalui. Anwar , bekas timbalan perdana menteri, telah dikenakan hukuman penjara atas kesalahan liwat dan salah guna kuasa selepas dipecat pada 1998. Beliau dibebaskan pada 2004. Bagaimanapun pemimpin berusia 64 tahun ini berkata kenyataan beliau tidak harus dianggap sebagai satu kekalahan. "Ia bukan satu persoalan secara sukarela mahu ke penjara. Untuk apa sebab? Sebab saya memutuskan untuk tidak menyertai semula Umno, sebab saya memutuskan untuk melawan mereka atas sifat rasis dan dasar-dasar tidak adil mereka?" katanya. |
| Fitnah II: Peguam Bela Bidas Hujah Pendakwa Posted: 14 Dec 2011 07:03 PM PST Mahkamah Tinggi Jalan Duta kembali bersidang bagi mendengar hujah balas penggulungan akhir oleh peguam Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim dalam kes Fitnah II. Antara isu yang dijangka ditumpukan pasukan peguam bela Anwar hari ini ialah kredibiliti tiga saksi pakar pembelaan yang dipertikaikan ketua pendakwaan, Datuk Mohd Yusof Zainal Abiden semasa penggulungannya Selasa lalu. Isnin lalu, peguam Anwar, Karpal Singh ketika menggulung hujah mendesak mahkamah memanggil semula bekas Timbalan Pendakwa Raya, Farah Azlina dan pengadu,Mohd Saiful Bukhari Azlan bagi memastikan keputusan perbicaraan dilakukan dengan adil. Menurut Karpal, hakim perlu meneliti keterangan pembelaan yang dibuat Anwar dari kandang tertuduh sebagai rujukan terhadap bukti yang dibentangkan sepanjang perbicaraan. Karpal juga menegaskan adalah mustahil Saiful menuruti semua arahan Anwar ketika kejadian itu berlaku, dan mempunyai banyak peluang untuk melarikan diri tetapi tidak berbuat demikian.
