Subject: Year 1990: computer users rights and the popular press
|
||
|
|
Date: Sun, 30 Dec 90 22:19:53 EST
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The year 1990 in review. Here is a list of some of the articles that have
|
||
|
|
appeared in the "popular" press in the last year. There were some 800+
|
||
|
|
articles on computer crime, "hackers" (in the negative sense), and viruses.
|
||
|
|
For comparison there were about equal number of articles on those topics
|
||
|
|
in each of the preceeding four years. However in the preceeding four years
|
||
|
|
I couldn't find a single article in 1300+ periodicals that mentioned
|
||
|
|
protecting rights of people who use computers. Note the slight difference
|
||
|
|
from the rights of people in a computerized society (lots of articles on
|
||
|
|
privacy, computer (mis)matching, and various computer snafu's).
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Perhaps the EFF should have hired a advertising firm before a lawyer? :-)
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Actually for only six months it is a pretty impressive showing.

|
|
complete as professional research should be, but you get what you pay for...
