People are out there saying we have to devalue our properties because of the Internet, but it hasn't even come into play!
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
We are going after a targeted group of businesses that are creating opportunities for themselves using other people's property. The Internet has very little to do with this.
People assume that we have certain rights based on property that may be different now in a digital world.
Notwithstanding the fact that the most innovative and progressive space we've seen - the Internet - has been the place where intellectual property has been least respected. You know, facts don't get in the way of this ideology.
The Internet provides the access to resources, so it's incumbent upon the people who control those resources to make sure that the economic engine stays intact.
What the Internet has done is it has decentralised power.
The whole, 'Is the Internet a good thing or a bad thing'? We're done with that. It's just a thing. How to maximise its civic value, its public good - that's the really big challenge.
Property is intended to serve life, and no matter how much we surround it with rights and respect, it has no personal being. It is part of the earth man walks on. It is not man.
I think there is a possible future where maybe we do just take a hard turn away from the Internet and we do start valuing our privacy again.
As a society, we haven't spent as much time building the citizen Internet.
I'm tired of being considered property.
