That is the way it should be

The internet should remain a free and uncontrolled environment; and those who try or will try controlling measures, will find themselves undesirable at the end.

I don't know that I will agree with that completely. Things like censorship of political thought and other normally-protected concepts should remain free. However, there needs to be consequences for completely outrageous behavior such as the woman who drove the little girl to suicide through her usage of the internet. That kind of behavior has no place in society no matter where in society it occurs.

Should there be throttling of P2P and other apps like that? No, because there are legit uses for those services. I don't personally file share music or movies for moral reasons, but I make use of P2P for downloading Linux .iso's and other legit files.

This problem of corporations wanting to limit the rights of the general public isn't limited to the internet. It's found in many facets of our society, and it needs to stopped in all of them.

The US legal system was created by the people for the people, not by the corporations for the corporations. We just need to take back what is legally and historically ours and stop being so apathetic about corruption in all its forms.
