            <title>Verizon Exec Stands Firm On Copyright Filtering</title>
            <description><![CDATA[<p><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2128/2366296235_9321235b9b_m.jpg" align="right">Verizon Chief Technology Officer <strong>Richard Lynch</strong> told the Tech Policy Summit on Thursday that his firm's philosophy on handling copyright issues reflects his belief that "we are not the enforcers of the Internet." "Our job is to deliver the bit streams that our customers either ask for or send," he said. His comments came as Comcast and BitTorrent <a href="http://nationaljournal.com/pubs/congressdaily/report/tech/march/s080327a.html">ended a feud</a> over whether the cable giant blocked customers from sharing content. </p>

<p>Despite reported attempts at filtering for pirated content by other broadband providers, Lynch said he was unsure whether Verizon could technically accomplish that even if he wanted to. He noted that his firm is collaborating with child safety advocates to blacklist Web sites that provide illegal child pornography. "That, we wholeheartedly believe, we can help out with," he said.</p>]]></description>
