While Larry Lessig gets a lot of flack in some quarters for being too extreme on Internet policy issues, I've got to say that at the very least he focuses on trying to find solutions instead of voicing repetitive rhetoric. Case in point is his "modest proposal" to code/codify the inclusion of an invisible tag in indecent Web content as harmful to minors (or H2M). Naturally, this raises all sorts of nettlesome issues regarding what really is indecent; whether this only hastens Web censorship; and, how folks can get around the rule.
However, Lessig's point is that unless someone comes up with a middle ground solutions that is less bad than filtering software that, he says, over-censors non-objectional content without any checks and balances or less bad than a free-wheeling Web where kids can easily see bad stuff, than this is a way to bring technololgy and policy together to protects kids while maintaining free speech on the Web.
Indeeed, Lessig concludes that doing nothing would ultimately harm free speech.
His idea came out a day after a federal court struck down the 1998 Child Online Protection Act (COPA) that made it a crime for Web sites to allow children to access material deemed "harmful". The judge who struck down COPA said that there were less restrictive measures to prevent kids from accessing harmful material including software filters.
While, the decision will likely be appealed to the Supreme Court, the ruling will only increase pressure on Congress to do something about protecting kids online with a rule that will make it through the courts unscathed. CDT says should do something and suggests:
Congress should promote education and the availability of filtering technology to empower parents to protect their children, allowing parents to tailor what they do to their individual child's situation. As courts and experts have repeatedly found, this approach will be far more effective at actually protecting kids.

I've been awaiting this book with eixetcment and trepidation I've also been reading the WoT since the 90 s (after randomly buying the first 2 books from a 2nd hand book stall and quickly becoming hooked) and whilst I'm desperate for the cycle to reach its conclusion, Brandon Sanderson isn't an author that I've encountered before so I'm anxious to see whether he has managed to do the characters and story justice.As for my favourite fantasy series (apart from this one of course), I have to agree with the previous posters Tolkien stands the test of being re-readable and still continuing to enchant time after time. Honourable mentions have to go to the marvellous Terry Pratchett for never failing to make me laugh with his ingenuity, Goodkind's Sword of Truth and also Edding's Belgariad. One of the first fantasy series I ever read was Nancy Springer's White Hart' series and that also has to be up there.Actually I could keep on going do I really have to pick just one?!
