Fight for the Future

It’s a slippery slope when the government starts to regulate the internet… I think it would be better for private industry to come up with solutions to piracy issues rather than the government.   Judging from the xxx domain extension debacle, (Opinion: XXX domains an obvious failure) I think any well-meaning regulation will only cause more harm than good.

Once Big Brother starts to enforce rules on the internet, they will start to tax the internet which will throw a big wet blanket on any creativity and user ability.  

Our country taxes commerce, trade and the general population  to maintain our brick and mortar infrastructure so that we as a nation have the ability to conduct business and to promote physical goods and services.  Bi-products of this have produced world class freeway systems, airport/ATC infrastructure, shipping ports and a very efficient/affordable postal network.

For companies using these  tangible systems, ease of movement throughout our country to conduct business is still the best on the planet.

It is just a bit hard to justify our government getting involved in cyberspace where infrastructure is mostly maintained by private enterprise…
