McCain on Net Neutrality, Copyright, Iraq

An anonymous reader writes "Sen. John McCain kicked off the All Things Digital conference Tuesday night with some interesting comments about net neutrality among other things. His take: there should be as little government regulation of broadband as possible. The market should be allowed to solve the Net-neutrality issue: 'When you control the pipe you should be able to get profit from your investment.'"

I'd point out the French only came in against the British after the Colonial forces took Saratoga, and the tide had turned in favor of the Colonials. The French weren't stupid, and were only going to back the Colonies once a Colonial victory was a near sure thing. We would have almost certainly gained practical independence from the British with or without the French. We're grateful for that aberration of French assistance (after all, a major cause of the American Revolution were taxes levied by Britain to pay for the French and Indian War), but don't overstate your case.
