...that corporate America starts concentrating its lobbying strength on internet regulation.



Good - then the real war can start. Corporate America needs to be burned to ash and utterly destroyed. I don't care if their heads roll in the street; I hope it is so.



Fully half the population is ready to fall on its need and suck the corporate cock at all times. Corporations have a 130 year head start on shaping our laws and society to their needs. We aren't heading toward a post corporate world, no matter what happens with the Intertubes. We're heading for a post democratic world where corporations render governments more or less irrelevant.



And more than a few posters here seem to be waiting for that time with open arms.

We went from an intraweb tirade over an obscure gaming accessory to "Burn Baby Burn?"

AT's comments were nothing more than an ideological reflex ... the thought that something got fixed w/o government being involved is a dangerous precedence to him ... becuase it shows the free market works

The best part was where the douchebag demanded compensation or he would hold the company's domain name and email accounts hostage (he had total control over the account containing the domain).

Unfortunately for him, the guy he was threatening was smarter than he was and had control over the domain name itself and simply transferred it to a new account leaving douchebag with nothing at all.

You're an idiot for both the content of your post AND your continued misspelling of the bolded word.

Actually, you're just an idiot.

Talk about extreme irony.
