WIPO wants to wipe out your rights

Molly Wood Former Executive Editor
Molly Wood was an executive editor at CNET, author of the Molly Rants blog, and host of the tech show, Always On. When she's not enraging fanboys of all stripes, she can be found offering tech opinions on CBS and elsewhere, and offering opinions on everything else to anyone who will listen.

Slashdot has a about a Financial Times article explaining the World Intellectual Property Organization's (WIPO) attempt to steal all your content. Unfortunately that's not much of an exaggeration. Its proposed treaty would give some ownership rights of anything you post on the Web to your ISP or Web host. That won't kill the Internet or anything, now will it?
