freedom of information and file sharing built the internet, but it is big business that holds sway today. copyright law says that if you have a tangible copy (one you can touch) of any original idea, it is copyrighted. does that mean that every time you visit a web page and download (copy) its content, you are in breach of copyright?

If you download and copy without the designers knowledge, then you are in breach. If they say that you can download and copy from their site then you're ok.
Governed, policed - there are many kids on-line these days who get targeted, so some of the sick people out there need to be stopped one way or another.

You are only in breach of copyright if you reproduce something and pass it off as your own work.
So if you went to my web site, copied a load of information then placed it on your web site (without identifying the source) then technically you would be in breach.
The internet MUST remain free, though it almost certainly won't. It is only a matter of time before bush and Bliar turn their attention to it.

i think that the internet should be policed realistically, that is the only way enforcing a law can work. It should abide by the rules and laws of society today.
If people breach copyright, the people that own the copyright should pursue this in the civil courts for example.
the only way the internet should be policed by the police or government is for child pornography and pedophilia and also for fraud- identity fraud issues for example.
In other words, the same rules apply for off the internet as on the internet. If the internet can uncover criminal activity and provide criminal intelligence, the police should and must use it.
the internet is not above the law for example. fraud or sex crimes are criminal offences.

In answer on your unique question "Does the Governing physique worry the cyber web"... mutually as i'm no longer a member of stated team, i does no longer think of so, to any extent further than maximum persons worry autos, television, domestic canines, etc. As for the the remainder of your "rant" no i does no longer say that's "authentic". i've got examine quite a few claims at here that Witnesses do no longer even flow on line. Which for sure is merely laughable. Is it authentic that Witnesses, as Christians, and for that count, human beings of *on the least* some intelligence, are careful on line??? You guess. Is finding out to be careful on line a "Witness" component??? NOPE. examine maximum/ANY tech magazines or books coping with the cyber web, and you will locate Repeated warnings approximately being careful on line. As for the greater and greater laughable "rev"s remark approximately Witnesses usually going surfing in pairs ... oy ... i think of there comes a element the place IDs end bothering to objective to make their accusations seem actual. no longer some time past, that comparable identity the two suggested hoping Witnesses might quickly commit suicide, and then greater those days suggested the Earthquake as being greater/much less an outstanding component because it probable killed lots of religion(s) different than his. How unhappy.
