Ban the Internet

Ars Technica has posted a story that the RIAA and MPAA are lobbying for legislation to ban file-sharing. RIAA and MPAA are crossing the line. It all sounds like communism to me — A system of government in which the state plans and controls the economy and a single, often authoritarian party holds power, claiming to make progress toward a higher social order…

If they can ban one technology they can ban or control any technology that they fear. In fact it's already started with control over TV's and Monitors. It's insane that we are letting these organisations infect and control all digital technology. But what can we do? They have a monopoly and everyone has to play by their rules.
