[IRP] Vedrò position statement on Internet Regulation

[Robin Gross]

I agree with Katitza.

 From the page:
"... the protection of fundamental rights such as privacy, copyright  
etc."

Copyright is a statutory right, and hardly a "fundamental" right  
under the law.   Copyright is a means to an end (to encourage  
innovation), not an end itself.

I'm not sure what the purpose the statement/document is, but this  
point is clearly wrong.

Thanks,
Robin
