[QUOTE="wkmac, post: 529206, member: 2189"] CNET News has an [URL="http://www.nothirdsolution.com/"][COLOR=red]interesting piece[/COLOR] [/URL]about Congressional efforts to regulate Peer to Peer applications. Those here among the "geek squad" types can probably better explain how this all works but in reading the CNET article it appears to the (this) "non-geek type" that interent regulation could well be in the forecast. When the Fariness Doctrine got it's spin during the 2008' National Beauty Contest, hint of also internet regulation along the same "fairness doctrine" lines were [URL="http://24ahead.com/henry-waxman-bring-back-fairness-doctrine-under-another-name"][COLOR=red]leaked out[/COLOR] [/URL]thanks to actions from folks like Henry Waxman.

It would be easy to see this as purely a democrat party deal but IMO it's only that case because the way the stars align. Were conditions in reverse, I've no doubt that the Statist Red Staters would also be doing the same. I'm also not convinced that deep inside, many red staters are hoping the door of truth stays shut so they can vote yes themselves to regulate.
