who doesn't see anything good having come from the Internet. Period.' has
posted an editorial at the Huffington Post titled [2] Guardrails for the
Internet, in which he defends his comment, and suggests that just as the
interstate system needs guardrails, so too does the information
superhighway. The following is pretty indicative of the article:
'Internet users have become used to getting things when they want it and
how they want it, and those of us in the entertainment business want to
meet that kind of demand as efficiently and effectively as possible. But
what has happened online is that if it is 'beyond store hours' and the
shop is closed, a lot of people just smash the window and steal what they
want. Freedom without restraint is chaos, and if we don't figure out some
way to prevent online chaos, the quantity, quality and availability of
the kinds of entertainment, literature, art and scholarship we need to
have a healthy, vibrant culture will suffer.'"
