"...the internet has potential to educate, bring people together, foster new forms of communication and radically change the economics of business."
I would have added: "...and as such it is the antithesis of most existing systems, a new evil empire to be loathed and hamstrung wherever possible."Don't think for a second that "the Powers That Be" don't get it. They most certainly DO get it, and UCITA, DMCA and the growing list of "irrational" court and patent decisions is your proof.
