What you have to realise about free speach is this. There are a hell of a lot of stupid people in this world, not all of whom are able to do anything other than be led. Free speach may be well and good in a perfect world, but a perfect world this is not. Theres way too much stupidity flying round to let everyone preach anything from the rooftops.
This is not about people who write thier own web pages, its about people who post in public forums. Its those forums which will automagically insert the extra tag.
The important difference is that the above can deal in cash, its much harder for a spamming company to get you to send $20 to po box whatever than it is do get you to put your card details in the box.
Most Schools in Britain get thier internet access via a network called JaNET, the web access through this network is heavily filterd, as it is only used for schools.
I have on many occasions used an ATM machine (thinking about it, it was a Nationwide machine..) when its had error boxes on the screen. Most of the time it works just fine anyway
The problem is it's not as simple as that. Your analogies are closer to a country giving aid, going to war is akin to beating the shit out of a guy becase he reguarly commited crime.
In the UK your hard pushed to find anything above 512Kb/s down, a large percentage of people who have 'broadband' have 150Kb/s down, and pay £15.99 ($25) per month for it.
The fact that mplayer distributes those codecs is exactly why you wont find it included in any major distrobution, precisely because people are worried about the reprecussions.
