The thing about all this is the fact that legislation exists to combat piracy, child porn rings. Also ICE has effectively taken down and seized domains without any due process or burden of proof.

Unbelievable. I know. Making new laws are great as long as they repeal and reform current broad and overreaching power. It seems they also do not get the Internet is a global system. Once again that doesn't stop their influence to destroy the global aspect. Trimming the Internet into a new system for their own purpose. We had a system like that when our military devised the arcane system of ARPANET.

They may see they need to keep some of the users happy. Those who are unaware or uninformed will sadly be ignored. This goes for anyone behind censored and repressed governments or those which have been bought to stay quiet and let the sheep sleep. The who cares about Malaysia using the Internet attitude will separate and undo years of work. They would say Malaysia doesn't have any real use of of the Internet, they don't matter or all they do is pirate anyway.

Disconnection from users, the consumers of content, has created a huge problem. One that sadly will kill the Internet for those thousands of miles outside of US borders. In fact, it already forced Megaupload out of commission regardless of legitimate uses for all global users. You don't hear much in media about those suing from outside the US or New Zealand for lost legitimate data which had absolutely no purpose to be seized.

We need to unseat Lamar. We need more technical minded individuals to represent and fight these issues from the inside. We need less restrictions and more global awareness from our government regarding the net and influence on others well outside of the North American segment of it.
