Matters of copyright belong in the hands of lawyers and courts, not with government control of infrastructure. The problem is corporate content creators like Disney, NBC Universal, AOL Time Warner, et al, have been allowed to create a clusterfuck of controls and puppets at the government level to protect their copyrights. They have even perpetuated scare propaganda designed to convince people that government control of the Internet is good for us.
When all along, government has proven it can't do anything effectively, but fuck shit up.
