What is regulation? Not exactly an easy definition. If we tell ourselves that regulation is essentially the control of internet, then it is evil (as well as improbable). But if regulation is the monitoring of illegal actions on the internet, then what is there to complain about. Complaining about watching out for illegal activities seems a bit, well, retarded.
Then again, we are talking about a libertarian who voted against gay rights.
Of course they want to regulate the internet. With the trade of information we are realizing, SLOWLY, that we exist in a world of ideas and therefore, a world of abundance. The interests of those that seek power are served by the idea of scarcity. The only truly scarce resource is time, and we are running out.

Open Internet is a must. The Net Neutrality Act seems to be a necessary evil, as it would prevent major phone companies from taking control and/or blocking content. However, in such an instance of that happening, any "open" company would likely flourish.
Aye, ya got me there. And sometimes other senators and congressmen say good things too. We need more of that. Thinking by intelligent people in power, I mean.

All theirs actually harm others not internet gambling and Im no gambler, I'm just for the rights of those who chose to though I dont agree either.
The best way to combat the mainstream media is to buy music, movies, magazines, and newspapers only from alternative media, independent studios, and record labels. Sell/trade any DVDs and CDs you have from the big 6 media conglomerates. Don't use myspace or IGN which are owned by Fox. Give up a little so your kids don't have to give up a lot.
...I hate to break it to you, but those ideas will not save the mainstream media. Once you buy something, they will try to make you buy more & more. Music is sometimes inelastic, which means price will continue to go up even if more people buy it. These monoploy organizations don't give a crap for the consumers.
If you want to fight back against these Corruptables, you better speak with your State Representative to pass a legislation to repeal this law that is crippling the media.
...so according to you. EVERYTHING we download from the Interenet should be legalize--.jpgs, .mp3s, etc. Why can't you just look at what actual statistics have shown, these guys have only made it worse for artists, musicians, & consumers in being reliable in getting & selling music. This legislation has done nothing but make the music industry suffer & DRMs has made less & less people want to buy music.
What I am saying is that government regulation won't work! I don't want government regulation on the internet! Music would be something the government would use to take over the internet and then start abusing their power just like everything else. If someone has a copyright on their music then they have the right to stop the sell and use of their music....this is not government regulation, this is enforcment of property rights! The regulation we are talking about is much more than music!
But wasn't the DMCA updated in 2003? I remember John Stossel interviewing CEO Cary Sherman on 20/20 in March 2003---in his "Give Me A Break". Still, whether it was the DMCA or not, it has devestated the entertainment industry. And to make matters worse, other countries are doing the same.
This redicules! Give me a Break! Eversince the DMCA was passed by US Congress record sales have been their lowest trough ever! I wonder what's next huh? Will we have to pay to view .jpg or .gif images? People like you sicken me! Times have changed, & no anyone can make music! Putting these regulations on the consumers will only result in less & less people actually buying the music!
Pay attention people! Paying for music has only resulted in less & less customers buying the music!
The music industry will fall under its own weight just like Communism.
As one user said: "The age of plastic golden records is no more, MP3s are the future, now anyonw can make them if they have the right music-making software."
Net neutrality is a facade for regulating the internet. He opposes all government intervention, including regulating the internet as you just saw here. Why dont you actually read what the "net neutrality" bill says.
It assures everyone has the same access and corps can't manipulate it in their favour and turn it into a propaganda tool. And this is the least one can expect, as the internet was developed using public tax money and then handed over to private institutions. You guys are just stupid, government is EVIIIIIL and big industry GOOOOD. No thinking required.
I am a member of the Liberatianz Party of New Zealand. Please help us support the party either online or financially. It is the election in this country as well, and we have socialist ideas going unchallenged in the parliament.
ron paul is a hopeless fag... i support regulating the internet otherwise the pedofiles and nigerian scammers will take over the net.. you guys are the biggest bunch of right wing tossers ive ever seen
So..... go ahead and become Libertarian! There's a freedom of mind which comes with beginning to embrace these principles of political and personal freedom. It gives you that warm fuzzy feeling deep down inside :).
Oh, one more thing. Being libertarian is sometimes more of a mindset than it is a political party. In fact, my view is that libertarian ideas will be more likely to succeed as an ideology within the current political framework rather than as a third party.
"You can't get rid of the demand, you only end up turning it over to the criminal side." I agree completely. Limiting something doesn't get rid of the amount of people who want it regardless whether it's allowed or not. Freedom of choice is what we've always stood up for. Taking away freedoms from one thing doesn't stop the act from others.
A fascist might like more regulations. anyone seen "1984?" The free market solves many problems, this is one. This net neutrality bill is another example of people giving up their freedoms for "security"

Fucking Paul-bots... This video clearly shows how Paul is alienating his largely online fan base and fucking over the internet, yet they are arrogant enough to ignore it and turn it into a positive.
Then, someone like Clean97gti, who actually KNOWS what net neutrality is, makes a clear and fact-based statement... and he is thumbed down because they don't like the truth.
You don't understand. Ron Paul is against the government stepping in and stopping ISP's from limiting access through a tiering system. The government's possible action is called Net-Nuetrality, they aren't going to be "regulating the internet", rather regulating the ISPs to make sure that they don't fuck us all over.
it gives the government the basis to seperatley regulate something which should always be beyond federal control regardless what is being regulated. it provides grounds for falsely creating the image that more regulation would be neccissary and that you can trust the government. it is the first baby step for bigger things and it is absolutley unnessicary. leave the aone. completly
Whatever you say buddy, but you'd better not make a fucking peep when you have to pay extra to go on Youtube to watch a conspiracy video about why Ron Paul didn't win the 2008 election. :)
ISP's are not as dumb as you think. Neither you nor I nor the government know how bandwidth should be distributed better than the ISP's themselves. Video streaming demand is growing and ISP's can only compete for the best pricing. In the end the free market always gives lower prices and better service.
Arnt you from Austriala? WTF do you know about American Politics? Seriously. And your 19.
"This video clearly shows how Paul is alienating his largely online fan base and fucking over the internet, yet they are arrogant enough to ignore it and turn it into a positive."
Are you mentally ill or just plan stupid? Ron Paul is voting against Government regulations. Your telling me that people on the internet are FOR regulations? lol, smoke much crack DOWN there bud? wow
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
Yet again... Ron Paul doesn't know enough on this issue so he is taking his default 'Dr. No' stance by voting against what he thinks is more unnecessary government regulation. Net-Neutrality is being suggested to stop ISP's from exploiting their power to gain more profit tiering system. Which would limit access to certain features and require a more expensive plan to be purchased for more extensive access.
Net-Neutrality would regulate and watch over ISP's, not the internet itself.
Dr. Paul states clearly what he opposes and that is the PRECIDENT that would be set if this particular legislation would be passed. That's how this government works. They start small. One liberty gone, on to the next. Nation builders are patient people. And people like you are simple minded, which is exactly the type of person they need. Someone who will take the crap they spit out and eat it with a silver fork.
While I am here....how many of you have heard of Freedomain Radio? The host, Stefan Molyneux, is an incredible libertarian philosopher. NOT FOR THE COWARDLY. He will tell it like it is, but he will also make your day sunny. Google his name. He has close to 1000 podcasts (and growing) and they are free:)
Do you have a reason that you think he's stupid? If you don't have a reason for what you say....if you can't back up what you are telling people, YOU are the one that looks stupid. So....gives us a reason to agree. You should also make sure what you say makes sense. Thanks
What the hell are you nattering on about? They are adequately effective at their job, which is to pass legislation allowing their owners to do things that are currently illegal, immoral, or both. Sometimes they are shown being illegal and immoral themselves, it makes a show for the peons -- uh, consumers. I mean *voters*!
oops, i guess that did kind of sound like something "the brotherhood" would say, but i assure you that i dislike them as much as anyone else, and that the revolution im talking about is one for all individuals regardless of what they look like
Ron Paul has some great ideas, but he is way off base with his opposition to Net Neutrality. Net Neutrality doesn't regulate the internet, but rather regulates the providers and prevents them from using their government granted position of power (telcos were given extraoridnary freedom to build our infrastructure) to harm internet users and sites by limiting access through a tiering system.
Umm... it sounded to me like he was talking about a bill that made gambling sites illegal. Although he probably would side with the corporations on net neutrality.
Brilliant. Dr Paul is a true patriot, and the only one in the race who stands on principle instead of selling out. We need to be more aggressive in supporting this man. Now is the time!
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
I don't understand why Ron Paul and Rudy Giuliani have to fight themselves and ultimately sink both their campaigns. They should run on the same ticket. Rudy could run foreign policy and win the War on Terror, while Dr. Paul works on the domestic side by restoring Libretarian policies and returning the US to its former glory. Plus we keep Hillary the Fraud out of the White House forever!
I sort of agree, they should be nice to each other. But Ron Paul needs to help us end this war that was based on lies, and has made the rest of the world hate us. Ron Paul does not insult our intelligence with stupid propaganda, and will help us end the war now, before we go bankrupt! If Bush is allowed to keep this war going, I think every American should get a T-shirt saying 500 Billion dollars spent in Iraq, and all I got was a lousy T-shirt!
exactly! people keep trying to slander him by confusing the easily confused, of which i am one. i feel this will be a battle we will be fighting against the legalese who are on the payroll of crooked interests.
undemocratic" or "democratic" refers to a system of government in which all people have an equal voice."
The debate is whether the unpopular should have as much power as the popular. In a democracy the popular have power. So, something that is not democratic would be socialism where every citzen.....popular or not is going to have the same amount of power.
"undemocratic" or "democratic" refers to a system of government in which all people have an equal voice."
Okay, for "undemocratic" your using the word 'demo' which means 'mob' in a different sense then that of "democratic". What it sounds like your trying to tell me is "they are two sides of the same coin." I'm using the word "demo" the same for both of them so they are not two sides of the same coin.
Dude, I don't care if it's a word or not you get the idea. Worrying about whether an understandable word is an actually word or not is some elitist garbage.
Democratic>>>>>>mob rule
Undemocratic>>>>>>not mob rule
It would would give the minority 50% even though the "mob of the minority" doesn't equal 50%, and that is not how democracy works.
It's not like they are run by the governent and are denying us access to information in order to control us. Hell, the only reason they are in bussiness is because we bought their internet service.
This Congress is democratic correct? Well, they are voting on something that is un-democratic in princple. The reason ISP's grant better access to the certain sites is because those websites are more popular. Why would they grant equal access to sites people won't go too? It's illogical, uncapitalistic, and un-democratic. ISP's aren't denying us access to information, they are just giving us our money's worth.
dethmachineengage, although i agree with you that controlling the internet is a bad idea, i just wanted you to know that ur use of the word "undemocratic" was incorrect. "undemocratic" or "democratic" refers to a system of government in which all people have an equal voice. therefore, it would not be "undemocratic".... it would be "un-free" (of course, that isnt a word)
Exfucken exactly. The prohibition of drugs and alcohol has done more harm then good. Just because you ban something doesn't mean people are not going to buy it. The reason for even being able to live your life selling drugs might because prohibition increases the demand for the illegal substance. Has congress ever though about that?
He shouldn't be the only one though. I think more of us young Americans would really benefit this country if we continue Ron Paul's political work. Advocating small government, and etc.
Libertarianism would get rid of lobbyist, you idiot. learn something about it. It's not as black-white as your average ignorant democratic/republican politico.
fube!!! you didnt get what I was saying catfish lover!!!! He is buying into lobbyist shit, and he wont get elected and wont be able to get rid of lobbyists if he keeps buying into their crap!!!! gads you ron people need to lay off the fuckin fo twennie!!!!
What's wrong with the Internet as it is? Gee whiz, this thing is just about perfect in it's ability for people to universally communicate across borders and about nearly any idea.
The government shouldn't take any steps to change it. This is great, it's wonderful. Don't change a thing. Leave it as it is.
Is he talking about net neutrality or online gambling? Sounds to me like he's actually talking about gaming - this could be an argument against any of several bills that attempted to regulate online gambling.
For those who don't know, the Unlawful Internet Gaming Enforcement Act was attached to the Port Security Conference report which became the Port Security Act at literally the last minute at the end of the last congress. The house nor senate ever even got to debate much less vote.
Actually it is not about regulating the internet or not.
SOPA and PIPA are overreach since they are bill written by special interests.
Piracy is a real problem, the issue is SOPA and PIPA does nothing about the real problem, and just give the right to censor sites to the corporation.
It is not whether we regulate the internet, it is how do we solve the piracy issue without destroying the internet.
There is a reason I dislike libertarians, it is because they always take the easy way out.

The best way to combat the mainstream media is to buy music, movies, magazines, and newspapers only from alternative media, independent studios, and record labels. Sell/trade any DVDs and CDs you have from the big 6 media conglomerates. Don't use myspace or IGN which are owned by Fox. Give up a little so your kids don't have to give up a lot.

...I hate to break it to you, but those ideas will not save the mainstream media. Once you buy something, they will try to make you buy more & more. Music is sometimes inelastic, which means price will continue to go up even if more people buy it. These monoploy organizations don't give a crap for the consumers.
If you want to fight back against these Corruptables, you better speak with your State Representative to pass a legislation to repeal this law that is crippling the media.

...so according to you. EVERYTHING we download from the Interenet should be legalize--.jpgs, .mp3s, etc. Why can't you just look at what actual statistics have shown, these guys have only made it worse for artists, musicians, & consumers in being reliable in getting & selling music. This legislation has done nothing but make the music industry suffer & DRMs has made less & less people want to buy music.

DJBrokenHigh 3 years ago
What I am saying is that government regulation won't work! I don't want government regulation on the internet! Music would be something the government would use to take over the internet and then start abusing their power just like everything else. If someone has a copyright on their music then they have the right to stop the sell and use of their music....this is not government regulation, this is enforcment of property rights! The regulation we are talking about is much more than music!

1999 - Record sales boomed
2000 - Record sales increase by 10%
2001 - Record sales increase by 2%
2002 - Record sales increase by 6%
*** 2003 - US Congress approved of the DMCA in March***
2004 - Record sales dropped by 10%
2005 - Record sales dropped by 50%
2006 - Record sales dropped 20% below national average.
Hmm...I wonder why record sales are so low?

Congress passed the DMCA in 1998, not 2003. Don't get me wrong, the bill has some negative oligopolizing effects.

But wasn't the DMCA updated in 2003? I remember John Stossel interviewing CEO Cary Sherman on 20/20 in March 2003---in his "Give Me A Break". Still, whether it was the DMCA or not, it has devestated the entertainment industry. And to make matters worse, other countries are doing the same.

This redicules! Give me a Break! Eversince the DMCA was passed by US Congress record sales have been their lowest trough ever! I wonder what's next huh? Will we have to pay to view .jpg or .gif images? People like you sicken me! Times have changed, & no anyone can make music! Putting these regulations on the consumers will only result in less & less people actually buying the music!
Pay attention people! Paying for music has only resulted in less & less customers buying the music!

It assures everyone has the same access and corps can't manipulate it in their favour and turn it into a propaganda tool. And this is the least one can expect, as the internet was developed using public tax money and then handed over to private institutions.

"You can't get rid of the demand, you only end up turning it over to the criminal side." I agree completely. Limiting something doesn't get rid of the amount of people who want it regardless whether it's allowed or not. Freedom of choice is what we've always stood up for. Taking away freedoms from one thing doesn't stop the act from others.

You don't understand. Ron Paul is against the government stepping in and stopping ISP's from limiting access through a tiering system. The government's possible action is called Net-Nuetrality, they aren't going to be "regulating the internet", rather regulating the ISPs to make sure that they don't fuck us all over.
bonuscheese 4 years ago
it gives the government the basis to seperatley regulate something which should always be beyond federal control regardless what is being regulated. it provides grounds for falsely creating the image that more regulation would be neccissary and that you can trust the government. it is the first baby step for bigger things and it is absolutley unnessicary. leave the aone. completly

Yet again... Ron Paul doesn't know enough on this issue so he is taking his default 'Dr. No' stance by voting against what he thinks is more unnecessary government regulation. Net-Neutrality is being suggested to stop ISP's from exploiting their power to gain more profit tiering system. Which would limit access to certain features and require a more expensive plan to be purchased for more extensive access.
Net-Neutrality would regulate and watch over ISP's, not the internet itself.

Ron Paul has some great ideas, but he is way off base with his opposition to Net Neutrality. Net Neutrality doesn't regulate the internet, but rather regulates the providers and prevents them from using their government granted position of power (telcos were given extraoridnary freedom to build our infrastructure) to harm internet users and sites by limiting access through a tiering system.

Is he talking about net neutrality or online gambling? Sounds to me like he's actually talking about gaming - this could be an argument against any of several bills that attempted to regulate online gambling.
For those who don't know, the Unlawful Internet Gaming Enforcement Act was attached to the Port Security Conference report which became the Port Security Act at literally the last minute at the end of the last congress. The house nor senate ever even got to debate much less vote.
