  1. Re:Hulu outside the USA without proxies? on FCC Backs Net Neutrality, Chairman's Full Speech Posted · · Score: 1

    if the FCC is smart, they will force the ISPs to define the mechanism they use to define a packet as lawful or unlawful, then examine those mechanisms and have the ISP continue to work on said mechanism until it is appropriate, then the ISP can block based on the output of the mechanism and be indemified against any suits, however, lawsuits sould still be allowed to be brought to force the ISP to make sure there is no hidden sillyness.

    uh... it is their content they they choose not to provide to you so this would not apply to them at all.. Net neutrality is about ISPs allowign equal access to all traffic being served up... if a content provider chooses not to service you due to any reason at all, that is their right to do so.

    when corporations can get laws passed to make the market more favorable to them over the interests of the private citizen, the US government is not protecting the citizens from corprate power.

    And what is your point?

    People love to make the big deal that the US is a Republic and is great because of that single reason and ignore the people having a voice... then when you tell them that Iran is a Republic as well they look at you like you are nuts.

    A properly constructive republic protects everyone's rights through laws that protect them from both the government's powers of force and the force from other private interests (personal and corporate). It guarontees the laws remain in the interest of the people through giving the people a strong voice in who represents them.

    The US fails in two parts here:

    1)it does not do a good job of protecting the people from force of private interests.

    2) The voice of the individual is ignored in favor of the big monied interests because of our jacked up campaign financing system and our first across the line decision making process in elections.

    Republicans have basically gutted all laws that regulate industry in the US and stacked the courts with Bork-ian judges who believe anti-trust laws should work in the perceived favor of the consumer rather than in the favor of the health of the economy.

    The GM bailout made more sense than the Bank bail outs.

    the GM bail out saved real jobs of real people that create real things for real people. The Bank bail outs saved...... uh... hmmm..... well it allowed banks to collude with the fed to use their free bail out money to get free interest from the fed and record record profits with out actually lending a cent so executives go rich.

    The GM bail out was cheaper too... better ROI.
