Well that was/is the wonderful thing about the internet. It hasn't been regulated to death with GENERIC rules, that can be applied either way, and are always applied to the way the money leans. On the internet, it has typically been the place where the little guy has a little advantage.

Notice how they decide to make laws that put the responsibility on the government. Channeling everything through their system.

Wouldn't you guys think it better to INFORM and EDUCATE people about these issues, rather than create badly worded generic legislation that will only further bloat our legal system and ultimately the government?

With freedom comes responsibility, but if government takes the responsibility, then where is freedom?

What is worse, not only are these legislators blatantly on the side of big money and against freedom, but they are dinosaurs that don't even understand the whole 'internet tubes' thing. And all is being done under the scheme of 'protecting the people'. They should say protecting the people *
