A letter from the FBI saying so many FOIA requests were filed that it interfered with their ability to fulfill their statutory FOIA responsibilities... so they threw out the requests. The letter is inaccurate on several points, most notably that no FOIA portal was used.

Information and education are crucial for child development. The child's right to information and education protect human values and the human dignity of the child.

The United Nations (UN) Convention on the Rights of the Child (CRC) provides a framework for human rights education. An analysis of the various types of human rights is presented. These include: general human rights...

This paper examines copyright from an historical perspective, asserting that technology is and always has been the driving force behind copyright restrictions. In sixteenth-century England the printing press galvanized legislation. Today, technology, primarily in the form of the Internet, is once again a driving force behind a renewed and concerted effort by copyright owners to re-establish their territory. A timeline shows the progression of copyright as a censorship tool to a...

This paper seeks to establish a philosophical foundation and a conceptual framework for a belief in the right to free information access. According to an overview of the professional literature, and to the moral philosophy of Immanuel Kant as operationalized in the theories of John Rawls, information can be seen as a primary good and as a necessity for the just operation of society. Hence, the inability to access information would be considered an injustice. This contention is used as an...
