This is an interesting article about Britain's journey for open access. I hope you will take the time to read this article. The article parallels with our week 9 discussions.
I spent my formative years in the UK, and as such, despite being American, emotionally and intellectually I identify more as British (just hold the Marmite...). So much of what is happening there with attitudes towards internet, including the thoughts and efforts Jimmy Wales and Tim Berners-Lee, informs my own opinions. I hope they can find the balance between necessary surveillance and reducing intrusion on ordinary citizens, and then share their insights with the US.
