I agree, the list of those opposed versus those in favor is very telling.
Fraud, copyright infringement and identity theft are not new phenomenons on the internet, so why the recent push for regulation? Why the need to suppress this tool of communication and free speech? When i think back on the past year or so, i immediately recall Wikileaks, anonymous, Gary McKinnon, the Arab spring, occupy wall street- all which took effect online.
Wikileaks exposed true facts about the level of immorality and corruption within our government.
'Anonymous' successfully sabotaged the websites of several multinational corporations and caused untold millions+ in losses all to promote a morally sound ideological message.
Gary McKinnon hacked into NASA and is living in fear of extradition to the US where he could face life in prison.
The Arab spring movement was effective in overthrowing the dictator of Egypt, Hasni Mubarak, and is the prototypical internet-driven, grassroots movement of our era.
Occupy movements use the same social networking resources to gain attention and support. They have provoked dialogue and broadened peoples awareness with regards to the extent of corruption in government and the crimes being perpetrated against us.
Come to think of it, the internet is more of a weapon than a tool.

Some of the people involved in Occupy are the freeloading hippys that you speak of, but many of the people who started the movement are people who lost their jobs as a result of Wall Street's grievous crimes.

Pretty sure it was originally developed for the military to send messages to other bases or something along the lines of communication purposes for the military...

Try again my young friend. I cant find the link atm but I read an article that found that half those arrested in the ows crap heap owned houses north of 500k.

Most are there for free massages free food and drugs. They want a minimum living wages, bans on firearms, and all kinds of stupid stuff. Screw them
