Someone did the translation: Opinión angloparlante de la polemica ley de internet.

"And contrary to pirate's popular myth, its not always multinational, multi billion dollar companies. Many photographers, artists, writers, and developers are as small as one man shops".

In the later case, their main problem is not piracy, but amateurs and copyleft/CC authors who freely distribute their creations on the net. In the days of digital cameras, blogs, e-books and social networks, almost *everybody is an author*, who compete for attention.

TypePad Antispam is an open source project and a commercial (but free) service. The core is released as open source (GPL2) so you can install your own instance of TypePad Antispam in your servers. It has an Akismet compatible API and plugins already exist for Movable Type, WordPress and other CMSs. The free service is what TypePad uses, and has some extensions not released in the open source version, so has some advantages to a single installation.

Reviewing the transcript, I see a rough analogy that can be grasped in a few minutes by many people. My bank uses vacuum tubes to conduct transactions. The Internet is made up of millions of vacuum tubes, each carrying deposits of requests and withdrawals of results. This analogy is more effective than many of my attempted explanations. The speaker states that mail should be the highest priority of the tubes. Neutral pipes are essential to the development of new architectures. I agree that some email should be delivered with more urgency than non-streaming media downloads.

Were the pros of neutrality reported in terms easily grasped by politicians?

Is the chosen analogy flawed beyond any hope of effectiveness?

Was every word of speech written ahead of time by someone else?
