Libertarian vs. Congress: Don't regulate the Internet

Uploader: kneelbeforezodd
Video Description: Rep. Ron Paul Lays the Smack Down on Internet Government Control. He tries in vain to convince his fellow congressmen that the government should not regulate the internet. Today the House started down this slippery slope by passing a bill that legislates Christian morality and bans online poker. 317 votes for "I don't get the internet" verse 93 please keep the internet fair and free.

Net neutrality is a ... ( 6 months ago by surprise1982)

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.

If you support regulating the Internet, then you are the problem.

The best way to ... ( 5 months ago by frodomcgee)

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.

Impossible, nobody would put hard work and years into making music if the industry isn't profitable.

Correction: POSSIBLE
...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.
*continues*

The music industry ... ( 5 months ago by DJBrokenHigh)

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."

What I am saying is ... ( 5 months ago by shanklinmike)

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?

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!

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.

...I hate to break ... ( 4 months ago by DJBrokenHigh)

...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.

Its ok for them to gamble with social security and lose the nations money. Its ok to gamble with the stock market or with other mens lives but a simple man cannot do with his labours what he wants if it harms no one?
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.
