Sure there are industries within the internet but the internet itself is not one. So trying to give it laws to this extreme will only endanger the internet. it's not like cracking down on bars who sell beer to minors. It's not a database for you to collect information. Hackers can easily hack into gov't systems.
It'll never be competent functioning legislation ever!! I don't know why Tech Dirt doesn't get that. Maybe they should pay more attention to how politics works.
What I don't understand is why HBO won't sell their shows online. Why do I need a service provider? HBO would make a lot of money if you could just go their website click a show, episode, movie, etc buy it for a reasonable price and watch it online?
Its becoming more and more clearer that these industries have no clue on how to innovate their business models. They just can't. They don't want to and they dont' know how. Cowards.
They fail to understand what creativity is and how an open internet produces more creativity then that creates jobs, it enriches the culture and changes society. They are just incapable of having a real thinking process. They have no idea what they are doing.
For a real revolution. Any legislation that is passed is a lie effectively, it is always vague therefore it can't be forceable against the government. We are not going to fix jackshit by telling politicians and lobbyists what to do.
