I tend to agree with Jberry regardless of what side you are politically the USA in many aspects is sitting by letting big brother move in. The huge elephant in the room is Omabmacare, lets really look at this for a moment and get a true grip . Whether you are for it or against it its is Government mandatory healthcare system, until this it was privatized. My health care cost are now double this year and my coverage cut all because of government intervention. Sure some slob on foodstamp and his Obama-phone is getting free health care bu me, working since I was 15 get the shaft. There has not been one instance where government intervention turns out well the last huge interference was Social Security which was spent in other places now people are going to have to pay for. The FCC has already passed a law in 1989 governing porn on airwaves and cable. only a few years ago, Kevin J. Martin was to push through some striking initiatives in his last chance to leave his mark on the agency.Martin wanted to rid the wireless Web of porn. One of the issues he planned to tackle in upcoming meeting was a plan to give all Americans free access to the Web via the airwaves, minus the porn. Adults would be able to opt back in to get the raw, unfiltered Internet. The proposal opened the door for the FCC to regulate decency standards on the Web, but only when it is accessed over the airwaves by wireless devices. It would reassert the FCC’s authority in this area, which harkens back to the decency standards it imposes on broadcast TV. This is a bad idea for several reasons. That was in 2008 now everything is wireless and you can see how close things came. The FCC has a hard enough time figuring out what is decent and what is not on 2000 channels. It is not equipped to police decency on billions of Websites, even if it relies on automated filters to do most of the work. The only way they would be equipped is to do with the internet what they did with health care complete take over. Since 2007 | |

You make some valid points Cybertoad that I cannot argue with. Giving the FCC more regulatory authority could play out to be as bad as giving the ISP's free reign. There is no easy solution to this issue. Here's a "public service announcement" from the porn industry on the topic: http://www.funnyordie.com/videos/9873757...-star-net-neutrality Better to be pissed on, than to be pissed off. | |

What I find weird about the video even though its tongue in cheek is Obama is for granting the FCC more regulatory power, why saying he wants more freedom make zero sense. Just another slide of hand they all do. Hey look at this shiny pretty ring, no no no no, don't look at the dog taking a dump on your lawn, just look at this pretty ring. Even the video itself makes it politcal, ummm when its not. Its about personal freedoms , not personal regulations. Since 2007 | |

The difference between giving the FCC and the ISPs free reign over the internet is that the FCC has public oversight. Not saying public institutions can't be hijacked or abused; just that there are systems in place to prevent that, mandated transparency to see it happening, and recourse for citizens if it does happen. If the ISPs are in charge, it all happens behind closed doors, without public input, in the service of their balance sheet instead of common interest. There is a third way, besides letting bureaucrats and plutocrats regulate the internet, a way that already effects an influence on internet policy just by it's presence (despite being entirely outside established power structures). The way will likely present itself prominently if either the bureaucrats or plutocrats are successful in seizing the internet, and go too far: internet anarchy, the unregulated world wide web. If the powers that be close the vice too hard on the internet, they will just squeeze data and people into the darknet. Right now it's a fringe, niche thing, because it's not essential. But if the internet was changed to a glorified cable tv service, with curated channels, you bet I'd be on the darknet. The networks are in place, you can't unmake the internet, unliberate information. It's too late for that. | |

Let's hope it doesn't come to that. AW has already been through harder times than most sites could survive, with the prosecution in Australia, yet you walked away still standing.  I lost my original AW stuff in a hard drive crash years ago, and I would be kicking myself to this day if you guys had not hung in there, and I could not rebuild my AW collection. Better to be pissed on, than to be pissed off. | |
