  on Bad Take: Rep. Sensenbrenner's Response Over Internet Privacy Concerns: 'Nobody's Got To Use The Internet'
  "You know, again, nobody's got to use the internet. And the thing is, if you start regulating the internet like a utility, if you did that right at the beginning, we'd have no internet."
  
  Seems to me when the internet was dial-up it was regulated. There were at least 6 different ISP's in my area and prices were competitively lowered to about $7.00 a month. Now I have 1 ISP with truly fast speeds (Comcast).
  
  The biggest mistake was never opening up the last mile.

  on A Question For SOPA Supporters: How Will You Gauge SOPA's Success?
  "As it becomes harder to find stuff, harder to obtain it, and more effort and risk comes into trying to get it, the soft middle will start to lean back to legal sources."
  
  I think the lean will be to abandon it all together and choose to spend elsewhere and not entertainment.

  Obviously you have never head of the app on the iPhone called Installus after jailbreaking. Plus I am pretty sure the user base of the iPhone greatly outnumbers the PS3 base.
