Re: What is the "open web" ?

> Sure. And many think that individuals and businesses have a right to
determine the terms under which they allow their creative works to be used,
not least so that they can choose the terms they think best enable them to
be compensated for that work (enabling new work to be created etc. etc.)

I'm a FOSS programer and I consider my work some kind of art (not kidding),
and with that point of view, I'm more that rewarded if my code is used by
others, in the same way a musician should be of others listen their music.
Of course, always that another is not getting some profit of my work
(specially without my authorization), if that's the case, I want my
percentage. That's why I think there should be more work towards unlicensed
copies that about what are doing users at their home.

> There is tension between these things, that is obvious. The issue is a
subject of widespread debate. The question before us is whether technical
standards for the web should take sides in that debate, or whether web
standards should be provided that support the different approaches
currently widely practiced (on the web and elsewhere).

Intelligent argument. IMHO, standards should be at margin of debates, and
if required to take part, being always on the final users side.
