Thread Name: RIAA wants the Internet shut down
Subject: RE: Obit: RIAA wants the Internet shut down
America governs the OLD internet and will continue to govern it as it is beaten to death with laws like this. The plan is to kill it, then transfer all traffic over to the Internet 2, 3, 4, etc. THOSE will be controlled by the U.N. You will be told (if you live in an affluent country) that you need to pay taxes and licensing fees to help develop the internet in poor countries. Your anti-government uploads will be blocked. You will have to thumbscan to log on.

So this ruling has a worldwide ripple effect. If the Internet is killed, you won't like what replaces it.
