Its publication marks the beginning of TechFreedom, a new non-profit think tank that will launch alongside this book in January 2011. Our mission is simple: to unleash the progress of technology that improves the human condition and expands individual capacity to choose. This book also marks an end, having been conceived while I was Director of the Center for Internet Freedom at The Progress & Freedom Foundation—before PFF ceased operations in October 2010, after seventeen years. Yet this book is just as much a continuation of the theme behind both PFF and TechFreedom: “progress as freedom.” As the historian Robert Nisbet so elegantly put it: “the condition as well as the ultimate purpose of progress is the greatest possible degree of freedom of the individual.”1 This book’s twenty-six contributors explore this theme and its interaction with relentless technological change from a wide variety of perspectives. Personally, this book is the perfect synthesis of the themes and topics that set me down the path of studying Internet policy in the late 1990s, and weaves together most of the major books and authors that have influenced the evolution of my own thinking on cyberlaw and policy. I hope this collection of essays will offer students of the field the kind of authoritative survey that would have greatly accelerated my own studies. Even more, I hope this volume excites and inspires those who may someday produce similar scholarship of their own—perhaps to be collected in a similar volume celebrating another major Internet milestone. I am deeply grateful to Shane Tews, Vice President for Global Public Policy and Government Relations at VeriSign, who first suggested publishing this sort of a collection to commemorate the 25th anniversary of the first .COM domain name (registered in 1985) by asking what the future might bring for the Internet. Just as I hope readers of this book will be, she had been inspired by reading Who Rules the Net? Internet Governance & Jurisdiction, a collection of cyberlaw essays edited by Adam Thierer and Clyde Wayne Crews, and published by the Cato Institute in 2003. This book would not exist without the unconditional and generous support of VeriSign, the company that currently operates the .COM registry. 1 ROBERT NISBET, HISTORY OF THE IDEA OF PROGRESS 215 (1980). 8 FOREWORD Nor would the book exist without the superb intellectual contributions and patience of our twenty-six authors, and all those who assisted them. I must also thank PFF Summer Fellows Alexis Zayas, Jeff Levy and Zach Brieg for their invaluable assistance with editing and organization, and Jeff Fielding for the book’s stunning cover artwork and design. Most of all, I must thank Adam Thierer and co-editor Adam Marcus. The two and a half years I spent working closely with them on a wide range of technology policy topics at PFF were the highlight of my career thus far. I look forward to helping, in some small way, to discover the uncertain future of progress, freedom, and technology in the next digital decade—and beyond. Berin Szoka December 16, 2010 THE NEXT DIGITAL DECADE: ESSAYS ON THE FUTURE OF THE INTERNET 9 25 Years After .COM: Ten Questions Berin Szoka While historians quibble over the Internet’s birth date, one date stands out as the day the Internet ceased being a niche for a limited number of universities, governments and military organizations, and began its transformation into a medium that would connect billions: On March 15, 1985, Symbolics, a Massachusetts computer company, registered symbolics.com, the Internet’s first commercial domain name.2 This book celebrates that highly “symbolic” anniversary by looking not to the Internet’s past, but to its future. We have asked twenty-six thought leaders on Internet law, philosophy, policy and economics to consider what the next digital decade might bring for the Internet and digital policy. Our ten questions are all essentially variations on the theme at the heart of TechFreedom’s mission: Will the Internet, on its own, “improve the human condition and expand individual capacity to choose?” If not, what is required to assure that technological change does serve mankind? Do the benefits of government intervention outweigh the risks? Or will digital technology itself make digital markets work better? Indeed, what would “better” mean? Can “We the Netizens,” acting through the digital equivalent of what Alexis de Tocqueville called the “intermediate institutions” of “civic society,” discipline both the Internet’s corporate intermediaries (access providers, hosting providers, payment systems, social networking sites, search engines, and even the Domain Name System operators) and our governments? Part I focuses on five “Big Picture & New Frameworks” questions: 1. Has the Internet been good for our culture and society? 2. Is the open Internet at risk from the drive to build more secure, but less “generative” systems and devices? Will the Internet ultimately hinder innovation absent government intervention? 3. Is the Internet really so exceptional after all, or will—and should—the Internet be regulated more like traditional communications media? 4. To focus on one aspect of the Internet exceptionalism, has the Internet fundamentally changed economics? What benefits and risks does this change create? 5. Who—and what ideas—will govern the Net in 2020—at the end of the next digital decade? 2 John C Abell, Dot-Com Revolution Starts With a Whimper, WIRED MAGAZINE, March 15, 2010, http://www.wired.com/thisdayintech/2010/03/0315-symbolics-first-dotcom/ 10 25 YEARS AFTER .COM: TEN QUESTIONS Part II tackles five “Issues & Applications” questions: 6.

Actuaries and economists predict that incoming revenues will be insufficient to pay benefits by 2017 and that the Social Security Trust Fund reserves will be exhausted by 2041. 2 Yet Social Security remains the most important government program designed to prevent poverty among elderly citizens.3 If it were not for Social Security benefits, fifty percent of elderly beneficiaries would be living below the poverty line. 4 Unfortunately, Social Security reform is stuck in a political gridlock.5 After five years of debate, President Bush’s proposal for private accounts6 has been tabled in 1 Assistant Professor, Thomas Jefferson School of Law.

  • Medical Self-Defense, Prohibited Experimental Therapies, and Payment for Organs
    VOLOKH.DOC 01/24/07 – 4:55 PM MEDICAL SELF-DEFENSE, PROHIBITED EXPERIMENTAL THERAPIES, AND PAYMENT FOR ORGANS Eugene Volokh* I. INTRODUCTION Four women are in deadly peril. Alice is seven months pregnant, and the pregnancy threatens her life; doctors estimate her chance of death at 20%. Her fetus has long been vi- able, so Alice no longer has the Roe/Casey right to abortion on demand. But because her life is in danger, she has a constitutional right to save her life by hiring a doctor to abort the viable fetus. She would even have such a right if the pregnancy were only posing a serious threat to her health, rather than threatening her life.1 A person breaks into Katherine’s home. She reasonably fears that he may kill her (or perhaps seriously injure, rape, or kidnap her). Just as Al- ice may protect her life by killing the fetus, Katherine may protect hers by killing the attacker, even if the attacker isn’t morally culpable, for instance if he is insane.2 And Katherine has a right to self-defense even though recognizing the right may let some people use false claims of self-defense to get away with murder.3 Ellen is terminally ill. No proven therapies offer help. An experimen- tal drug therapy seems safe, because it has passed Phase I FDA testing, yet federal law bars the therapy outside clinical trials because it hasn’t been demonstrated to be effective (and further checked for safety) through Phase II testing. Nonetheless, the 2006 D.C.

  • Libertarians in Bush's World
    ESSAY ON LIBERTY+ LIBERTARIANS IN BUSH’S WORLD Todd Seavey* Imagine ordinary, non-ideological people hearing about an obscure politi- cal sect called libertarianism, which emphasizes self-ownership, property rights, resistance to tyranny and violence, the reduction of taxation and regulation, control over one’s own investments, and the de-emphasizing of litigation as a primary means of dispute resolution. Since this philosophy has very few adherents in the general population and is very much a minority position among intellectuals, one might expect proponents of the creed to count themselves lucky, given the likely alternatives, if the president of the country in which most of them live increasingly emphasized the themes of freedom and ownership in his major speeches; toppled brutal totalitarian regimes in two countries while hounding democracy-hating theocratic terrorists around the globe; cut taxes (despite howls even from some in the free-market camp that the cuts were too deep); called for simplification of the tax code; appointed relatively industry-friendly officials to major regulatory bodies such as the Environmental Protection Agency and the Food and Drug Administration despite frequent criti- cism by the media; proposed partially privatizing Social Security (America’s largest socialist boondoggle but one long regarded as sacrosanct by political analysts); and pushed tort reform to combat the chilling effect of lawsuits on doctors and manu- facturers. + Essays on Liberty is a continuing series of the Journal of Law & Liberty, dedicated to explorations of freedom and law from perspectives outside the legal academy. * Director of Publications for the American Council on Science and Health (ACSH.org, HealthFactsAnd- Fears.com), which does not necessarily endorse the views expressed here.

  • Theodore B. Wells and the Firm of Wells-Denbrook Architects in North Dakota; 1923-1978
    Theodore B. Wells and the firm of Wells-Denbrook Architects in North Dakota; 1923-1978 historic context study prepared by Steve C. Martens; Architect Architectural Historian (August 29, 2015 Revised Final version with GF HPC comments and State Review Board comments addressed) for the Grand Forks Historic Preservation Commission and the State Historic Preservation Office, State Historical Society of North Dakota Executive summary/Abstract: Theodore B. (Burfield) Wells had established his architectural practice in Grand Forks by 1923. He was joined in practice soon after World War II by Myron Denbrook. In approximately 1949, Denbrook was offered a full partnership. The firm completed extensive work throughout the Upper Red River Valley and in northeastern North Dakota. To a lesser extent, their work is found throughout North Dakota and in the northwestern corner of Minnesota. Wells retired from active practice in about 1964 and Denbrook associated briefly with Edward Adams at about that time. This context focuses on North Dakota work designed by the firm of Theodore B. Wells and later as Wells-Denbrook, from the firm’s inception until Wells, Denbrook, Adams, Wagner Architects merged to form EAPC (engineers and architects) in 1978. Required components of the context study: 1. Context narrative 2. Research methodology for review of archival resources 3. Research methodology for evaluating extant buildings on-site 4. Criteria for evaluating a property’s merit for future inclusion in the National Register 5. Defined scope of work for a future intensive level survey of extant Wells-Denbrook buildings in the state of North Dakota Part 1: 1.

  • Philosophical Foundations of Capitalism
    Capitalism and Morality _________________________ Philosophical Foundations of Capitalism Edward W. Younkins Professor of Accountancy Wheeling Jesuit University The power of ideas is great. If we are to educate, persuade, and convert others to free-market thinking, we need to articulate, in structured form, the conceptual and moral foundations of free enterprise. We are obliged to expound a coherent and consistent body of principles that are in accord with reality and that properly reflect and explain capitalism. In other words, we must approach the idea of free enterprise from a philosophical point of view. The survival of free enterprise may be in jeopardy unless people understand its conceptual and moral foundations. Capitalism is a rational doctrine based on a clear understanding of man and society in which economics, politics, and morality (all parts of one inseparable truth) are found to be in harmony with one another. Capitalism as defined in this essay involves that set of economic arrangements that would exist in a society in which the state’s only function would be to prevent one person from using force or fraud against another person. The enclosed exhibit provides an example model or diagram of the conceptual foundations of capitalism that are consistent with the nature of man and the world. The development of a conceptual framework is a natural endeavor that is undertaken in most areas that have claims to be called scientific or based on real world conditions. Frameworks for thinking about reality have long been the basis for organized knowledge. Constructing a set of ideas about real world objects, events, and occurrences would serve as a framework for a realistic political and economic system.

    Spine Should Adjust depending on page count Defending an Open,Defending Global, Secure, and Resilient Internet The Council on Foreign Relations sponsors Independent Task Forces to assess issues of current and critical importance to U.S. foreign policy and provide policymakers with concrete judgments and recommendations. Diverse in backgrounds and perspectives, Task Force members aim to reach a meaningful consensus on policy through private and nonpartisan deliberations. Once launched, Task Forces are independent of CFR and solely responsible for the content of their reports. Task Force members are asked to join a consensus signifying that they endorse “the general policy thrust and judgments reached by the group, though not necessarily every finding and recommendation.” Each Task Force member also has the option of putting forward an additional or a dissenting view. Members’ affiliations are listed for identification purposes only and do not imply institutional endorsement. Task Force observers participate in discussions, but are not asked to join the consensus.
