Here’s a podcast of my last Guardian column, Why did an MPAA executive join the Internet Society?:
Late in March, I started to get a steady stream of emails from concerned readers: did you see that the Internet Society has appointed the former chief technology officer of the MPAA to be their North American regional director?
I was as alarmed as they were. The Internet Society – ISOC – is an international nonprofit organisation whose mission is “to assure the open development, evolution and use of the internet for the benefit of all people throughout the world”. More concretely, ISOC is also in charge of the .ORG registry, through its subsidiary, the Public Interest Registry.
