Reply With QuoteYou're quite the contradiction - on one hand you are hardcore republican, on the other you're talking about corporate greed and by association the need for some level of regulation to prevent it.Originally Posted by DOMS
Not that I'm complaining, I agree on the topic - just find it interesting.

Usage Based Billing
A simple video explaining why this shit is just more corporate greed.
So many cries of inequality stem from one of group
of people doing little or nothing and then bitching
about another group that actually does something
to improve their lives.

I've said it before, but it bears repeating it now: I can't be pigeon-holed. Originally Posted by danzik17

On topic, it's like Gena says, if they shit passes in the US, we'll get even more fiscally raped by the corporations. This crap is nothing more than corporations trying to create artificial scarcity.So many cries of inequality stem from one of group

Well, if you lean strongly Democrat, then that, in the political spectrum, is what you are. It's why I don't mind being called a Republican. Originally Posted by Prince

This was an excellent post
Privatisation of information is a serious and dangerous threat to liberty. A return to medieval serfdom is one potential outcome of this slippery slope into regression.
Unfortunately for the champions of intellectual property/patent rights , this is also an argument against private property. To control an idea is to control other people's thoughts. To control other people's thoughts is the intention of propaganda.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Property_is_Theft! Joseph proudhon said it best "Property is theft".May the plop be on you.

I am onboard, Doms. I have been following this since it's inception. It is a thinly veiled corporate money grab with heavy use of their washington lobbiests to pass this craptastic idea. I am all for free market, but not at the expense of our freedom and raping of our wallets. Telcos, cable and cell phone (especially cell phone with internet) companies have been bending us over a barrel for a long time - it's almost like they are making backroom deals in smoke filled rooms.
They are also trying to turn the internet into a tv based package platform to rake in billions of extra revenue when they are already robbing us blind.
I should know a bit about it - I WORK for one of these companies and I don't get a break either. Sorry for the kinda long pic, but it fits the topic well...
