Rev, your obviously someone that that feels very strongly about this issue. However, when you have to resort to personal insults and being loud and intimidating to get your point across... you've already lost. You also alienate the other people in the conversation and the area your preaching in. People that don't already have on your side are only going to agree with you long enough to get away from the ranting crazy person.
I am not totally ignorant. However I lack omniscience... so there are by default things I don't know. Most of what you have said is visceral anti-corporate hate speak. It runs on the assumption that I already agree with you.
You seem to have some access to a totalitarian internet business plan. Otherwise your just making propagandic speech based on paranoia of the coming social apocalypse. As you have failed to provide such links and insider information, I can't agree with you at this point.
I am not blindingly pro-corporate. I am not a plant here to make you comply with the business plans of those corporations. I simply can't sue people and then make them suffer for what they may do.
If they do do it, they I'll be happy to let them burn for it. Until such a time I can't be bothered to raise my blood pressure in a fit of rage over it.
I rechecked the links provided hoping for some insight to your panic inducing reagent. I have reread the links all the info in the links. Didnt find it. Checked the internet and C-span the vote isnt existent. I started to suspect I was seeing an actual conspiracy. The internet was advertised as doomed today! How could this be? So I looked for the source of the panic in what I could find.
So I started reading the comments on the news article in the first link and I know your problem! I know the secret! The internet as we know it is not ending. Sorry. I found the terrifying law in question:
energycommerce.house.gov/...02_XML.pdf
What is happening. The item of panic is a bill leaving a comity. This is not a threat, yet. This is just a bill agreed to by a small group. It will be amended. Here is what you are missing:
www.school-house-rock.com/Bill.html
This is a first level character that is being advertised as an epic, Warlord. This is the pandemic bird flu. It could be a threat it is not now, but it could be. It exists. It has the potential to be a threat. It is not currently a threat. Only a potential threat.
E-mail, phone, letter, whatever your states congress people tell them what you think of this bill as it is. DO NOT PANIC at this time. Do not riot. Do not kill people, this includes yourself. Do not lose sleep over this.
This was misrepresented to me. This was panic being used to influence action.
I'm not proclaiming that corporations are innocent or pure hearted. I'm simply stating that this idea they're going to kill the internet on general principle is wrong. It makes no sense. Granted Ted Turner and AOL are involved. So he may try to nerf the internet again mostly again his political opponents.
I believe after reading the comity bill that the offending item is in order. The first section is on page 31. Subheader (4) FUNCTIONALLY INTEGRATED SERVICES and (5) AFFILIATE REVENUE. These are sections saying that these integrated services count as revenue for tax purposes.
Then on page 32 it mentions it again under Section 602 of the Communications Act 1934 (47 U.S.C. 522) is amended- , subsection page 33 (6) the term cable service means subheader (B). Forums should be covered under the additional sub header of (1) as they are solely interactive on-demand services. That or the following subheader of (iii) any information service.
Therefore Forums are not part of cable services most internet things are covered under that heading that are news and politics. Free speech is covered here.
They are adding in requirements I like. Page 24 has (1) Child Pornography this forces the companies to not allow kiddie porn on the internet. Pages 38-47 are a law forcing that internet phone must have functioning 9-11 service. This starts with TITLE III-VOIP/911. This bill is not exclusively to screw over the internet.
Its not until pages 49-50 that anything else really mattersAt this point is the last two pages of the bill comes in with TITLEV-BROADBAND SERVICE. This is the offending bit. It is rather short partially for reasons of things covered above.
It does state that you must get an average download rate of 1 meg every 5 seconds. If your not getting to download the internet at that speed they are not providing you with Broadband. Therefore are in violation of the contract you have with them about them providing you with Broadband for money.
So if they do make the Broadband uselessly slow with a multi tier system.. every person being screwed can cost them up to a half million a piece. One hundred people means up to 50 million in fines. 1000 is up to 500 million.
So just for the sake of argument what specifically do you want added to the bill by your congress person? If you state anything that sounds like Infernos idea of what should happen to corporations I shall be forced call the nice young men in the clean white coats on you.

Do you let any child out in an unsupervised area and expect them to be safe?
Quote:You have my point down already. Which is the people that sue are the same ones that expect their children to be raised by TV/cable/everyone, but them. They are mostly interested in having other people raise their kids for them. See the episode of South Park in which the parents don't care about death incarnate hunting them as they are too busy protecting them from Terrance and Philip.
Children are also not the problem with the internet. Parents letting them use it unsupervised are.
