If not governments... would you trust corporations, intent on serving their own interests only, and capable of bribing governments to allow them to do so?
Or would you trust the people, who have already demonstrated an aversion to control, a desire to create their own personal end-runs, a demand to have anything they want for free, and a refusal to accept the means of protecting digital property?
Fact is, corporations, and the public, have not shown the impetus to do what's needed, or what's right. And in their absence, government is the only thing left.
Unless...
...a non-profit international organization was developed to take on the task, with the sanction and support of the major world governments. That org would develop a set of security protocols (probably to be built into the IPv6 network currently being developed, or some future protocol), and all governments would be required to use them, or be excised to their own, anarchic, unstable, unprotected national web.
So, there's a proposal.
