... they want government to wipe their you know what's so their hands don't get dirty.

I have no desire to have the govt do anything but leave the net alone. It's the govts that are hot to trot for filtering and other sh1t - I think it drives them crazy that they can't control what people do on the internet. They all want to be like China.
The only regulation the government should be involved in is regulation to protect people from unfair business practices on the part of ISPs and to ensure that people who provide access to the Internet cannot also provide Internet content. In other words, ISPs should not be allowed to sell music or movies to their subscribers because the nature of the Internet would ensure a conflict of interests unfavourable to customers.
