The increasing crime rate on the Internet, ranging from theft to copyright infringements, all in the name of free speech, is causing Americans grave concern. Free speech is abused when it is claimed as a shield to avoid responsibility for unlawful acts. "Father of the Internet" Vinton Cerf and co-founders of the Cyberspace Law Institute, among others, including members of the Church of Scientology, met to work out solutions to protect the rights of all on the Net. Members of the Church of Scientology know better than many that the freedom to communicate is a vital liberty.
And it is a freedom they have fought for tirelessly through the years. In fact, L. Ron Hubbard, founder of the Scientology religion, said, "Perhaps the most fundamental right of any being is the right to communicate. Without this freedom other rights deteriorate."
