Um, thats Ron Paul's position. Did you even understand what he was saying?

I usually agree with Ron Paul, but on Net Neutrality I completely disagree. The internet is THE most important tool of freedom, and regulating it is unconstitutional.

Idiotic statements like that are what make libertarianism so hard to defend at times. Although in an ideal world their would be no state the simple reality is that in the absence of government another group of powerful men would rise to power. Therefore even if we distrust the state and wish to minimize its powers one must still accept its presence in some form as a necessary evil.

freedom hating commies voted to give the FDA the power to regulate tobacco this is backdoor prohibition. I guess before long the only choice that will still be legal is abortion.

Its ok for them to gamble with social security and lose the nations money. Its ok to gamble with the stock market or with other mens lives but a simple man cannot do with his labours what he wants if it harms no one?All theirs actually harm others not internet gambling and Im no gambler, I'm just for the rights of those who chose to though I dont agree either.

...I hate to break it to you, but those ideas will not save the mainstream media. Once you buy something, they will try to make you buy more & more. Music is sometimes inelastic, which means price will continue to go up even if more people buy it. These monoploy organizations don't give a crap for the consumers.If you want to fight back against these Corruptables, you better speak with your State Representative to pass a legislation to repeal this law that is crippling the media.

But wasn't the DMCA updated in 2003? I remember John Stossel interviewing CEO Cary Sherman on 20/20 in March 2003---in his "Give Me A Break". Still, whether it was the DMCA or not, it has devestated the entertainment industry. And to make matters worse, other countries are doing the same.

Congress passed the DMCA in 1998, not 2003. Don't get me wrong, the bill has some negative oligopolizing effects.

This redicules! Give me a Break! Eversince the DMCA was passed by US Congress record sales have been their lowest trough ever! I wonder what's next huh? Will we have to pay to view .jpg or .gif images? People like you sicken me! Times have changed, & no anyone can make music! Putting these regulations on the consumers will only result in less & less people actually buying the music!Pay attention people! Paying for music has only resulted in less & less customers buying the music! |
