Agreed, who is talking about banning anything? Policing, yes. Regulation, yes. As I said in my post, why is it, when everything from our healthcare to the food we eat to taxes and infrastructure have regulations in place, somehow the internet should remain unregulated? People built highways, and millions of people pay taxes for the privilege of using them, not to mention their upkeep. In exchange we have traffic laws. You can't drive any way you want to.

Why is it, the same doesn't apply to the internet, where billions if not trillions of dollars are being funneled into the hands of the very few as if its one giant serfdom with three land owners? And make no mistake, own they do. They're in control of the content, pure and simple.

And sorry but I find the mixtape argument very flawed. You might have made a mix tape for a friend, or three friends when it was 1989. How does that in any way compare to millions of people downloading the same content online?

It doesn't.
