alt="" width="110" height="110">For a long time,
libraries have expected to have some control over
the content of the Internet available in their
buildings. Whether to filter, what to filter, how
much to filter - these are all decisions that
normally have been in the hands of libraries and
their governing boards. Lately, however, Internet
service providers (ISPs) and support companies
both overseas and here at home seem to be
increasingly willing to get involved in decisions
regarding the type of Internet you will get if you
use their products and services. Some of that
willingness is the result of business pressure,
and some is the result of pressure from
governments and interest groups.

policy cooked up in concert with the Motion
Picture Association of America (MPAA) and the

your router from Cisco's anti-porn,
pro-copyright cloud service</a> (Ars
Technica/Jon Brodkin) "The service basically
replicates all the features router
administrators already have, but moves them from
your home network to Cisco's cloud. The supposed
benefit is that you can manage your router even
when you're not at home. [...] In exchange for
the convenience of Connect Cloud, you have to
agree to some pretty onerous terms. In short,
Cisco would really hate it if you use the Web to
view porn or download copyrighted files without
paying for them."</li>

quickly revised their Terms of Service to address

their Internet use. The revised Terms, however,
still require customers to agree not to use Cisco
cloud-managed routers "...for obscene,
pornographic, or offensive purposes."
