To all purposes the internet isl like a new country. Doe it really
matter where the server is located?  I you are in one country and your
work ends up stored in another country`s server... where is your code?
To whom does it belong? If n your country some material is legal and
illegalin another country, which laws apply? There is a universality to
the internet (Internet, with capital letters), that trascends old
notions of sovereignty and makes us internauts double citizens. But
then, how can we regulate the internet if its desirable or even
feasible? Do you really care if the domain is specific to one country
or are you just concerned in that the domain is actually reachable?

But then to most ofus theinternet is free! Actually the ptice is zero,
since it is distributed and shared, so no one can be held responsible
for the actual cost. In technical terms, the marginal cost is zero and
the price is zero in a very concurred market, yet there is a (sunken)
cost to the material support of the internet. Who makes decisions in
this scenario? Once you pay your share to the entry into this country,
either by paying an ISP or indirectly throughtuition or even markets,
under whoe sovereignty you fall? Should the W3 be given the
attributions of a country`s government? Should we play by the rules of
the country we are in or bythe country the server is located in or
should we let rules grow up alone like netiquette or even be concocted
distributely? Wher do you go if your passwords are stolen, for
instance?

If you publish whateverand it gets published in a private server, do
you lose your right, do they pass to the owner of the server or youhave
the right to keep them because you are the publisher? What if the
private owner decides to close the server with *your* material... who
protects us? The grace of the internet is that it is worlwide and open
*and* distributed. But servers are physically owned! Shouldn`t we treat
servers and their locations as extraterritoriality, to guarantee the
INDIVIDUALS access and protection to his materila or others` materials?
Cybercrimes are treated as federal crimes, but their scope is
international. Jurisction turns into a problem, where every planet, I
mean, country, is opaque and can turn this opaqueness to its advantage.
How can we prevent big server owners from swiching names, reealing
passwords, claiming property rights to the information stored in their
servers, control access to material, etc?

Even identity is a problem! A huge probelm deriving from the lack of
cenrtalization... An internet governemnt... As the market, theepithome
of ordered anarchy, self organized control and distributed information
summarized by simple quantities (prices) and decisions (buy/sell), has
flaw that are solved through centralized control government, a delicate
equilibrium between oth extremes to guarantee the maximum output, the
same way the internet requires a measure of centralization,
*independent centralization* t bring out the full benefits of internet
at theleast cost to the individual, but with an additional advantage:
WE CAN USE TECHNOLOGY TO ACHIEVE FAIRNESS AND IMPARTIALITY.

Indeed, the internet is per se the place of residence of alll
countries, all materials, the seed to bring unty and to iron out
discrepancies among countries. A citizenship card, the access to all
information, the opportunity to ensure fair rules and equaity...

WHER IS THE INTERNET?
