> And once again we may ask where the regulatory authorities are.
The regulatory authorities are happily making the situation vastly worse with implementing things like DMCA, ACTA, software patents, wiretapping efforts, copyright enforcement, etc etc.
They are not on your side. They will never be on your side.
Their purpose in life is just to do whatever will benefit themselves above all else and will happily side with whoever is able to provide them the most benefit. This usually is with whatever group will offer the most interesting chances at monetary and power gains.

Yes, thank you, we all know your tiresome politics by now. Can't you take it to a blog post or something?

Actually I found the grand-parent post informative. Policy discussions (such as regulations) ARE inherently about politics.
So I would appreciate if you stop shutting up whoever voices a position you do not agree with. Though I rarely post here I read the comments here a lot and I usually find your posts quite enlightening - this one is not.

It's not that I disagree with his position, it's that he has only one position, and never backs it up beyond (as far as I can tell) an axiom that everything governments do is ipso facto bad while if a corporation does the exact same things it is ipso facto not bad, or at least not worth caring about. These axioms are sufficiently far removed from the realities of present-day political systems as not to be worth basing anything but pie-in-the-sky discussions on.
