FCC Commissioner Urges, Don't Regulate the Internet
Brett Glass writes "In an op-ed in today's Washington Post, FCC Commissioner Robert McDowell makes a case against government regulation of the Internet, opining that 'engineers, not politicians or bureaucrats, should solve engineering problems.' With state governments pressuring ISPs to pull the plug on Usenet, and a proposal now in play for a censored public Internet, McDowell may have a very good point." McDowell is one of the two FCC commissioners who did not vote with the majority to punish Comcast for their BitTorrent throttling.
Little national governments trying to regulate a huge global internet seems a bit silly doesn't it?
Shouldn't we instead be looking at having one internet government? Oh, right, we already are.
What do yo mean by "illegal"?
I believe "illegal" is a term used in criminal law, and referring to things like illegal drugs.
Or are you referring to work under copyright or products that are not "Genuine" as in Microsoft "Genuine" products?

Bloody hell I am sick of the 3 people who whinge constantly about twitter, give it a rest-some of us couldnt give a damn!
1st: Taxpayers paid for the complete development and creation of the F-22. Denying me access to the F-22 would be stealing, if we seriously consider adopting a free market.
2nd: ... Who cares, I want to go down and take that F-22 for a spin.
New rights cannot be added, and new restrictions can be added. Why? Because it's written that way in the Constitution. Change the Constitution, get rights. All not granted in the Constitution is up for grabs; if our founding fathers had been smarter, the Constitution would have set specific limits on what spheres the government could interfere in.
