I do not see anyone arguing that we should do time travel back to 1997 - its used to show much things have changed.

If we continue to hand over content and traffic to the AEBN´s and GUBA´s of the world, who uses it undermine the industry, then we are not only headed for a quick extermination, but we are also going down in history as ignorant business men and women.

Ex. what would AEBN do, if they had to add content cost to their business model? How about if they had to police their own sites? Right now they avoiding these areas, because they know where to hit us. AEBN is big business with an intelligent management - they have planned this ahead, from infrastructure to dealing with legal issues... picture them in a few months posting things like "we do not know why our users keep uploading your content, but we will take it down, thanks for letting us know" - while they laugh all the way to the bank.

The things we control today are what AEBN wants to take tomorrow.
