--- Quote from: Refticus on August 04, 2017, 12:34:43 PM --- net neutrality works perfectly fine. websites such as netflix, audible, steam and whatever kids use today pay the creators of the product. but websites such as the pirate bay which steals content and puts them up for download at no cost mean that the content creator gets nothing. --- End quote --- No, you misunderstand. Net Neutrality is going to be dead by the end of the year, the FCC head takes heed from fake bot comments of stolen names, but dismisses millions of real comments because... ??? |

Should we completely centralize the market, like we are currently doing on and off the internet? Does this look like healthy capitalist competition to you? |

Also, Kimon views the general public as untapped free labor. I view the general public as the willful, free-spirited end users.

Either way, I have no strong feelings one way or the other. |
