Is the webcast working for anyone? It was working for me before the 11 am break on Wednesday, but it seems to be broken now. :(

When asked whether it would be sufficient for law enforcement to have unfettered access, the answer was "no." Access has to be publicly available... He said that law enforcement alone can't do the job and they need the assistance of private parties to go after the civil aspects. Well, I don't see the emergency nature of civil actions and if there is a need for civil action there are legal avenues to pursue.
If the action is criminal, then law enforcement would have even more access than they have now with the public WHOIS from any computer. All they would need is their digital credentials for that access. His arguments simply do not hold water.
I can't for the life of me figure out the reasoning behind this guy's unequivocal "no" unless he just doesn't "get it."
Why is it that special interests always seem to trump individual rights? Did we somehow lose the Constitution?
