The Governments will never stop you looking at naughty pictures and anyone who thinks they will is on a different planet. They might license and control it but they will not ban it. Did they ban sex shops? Yes some areas say they don't want them in their neighborhood but that's democracy at work.
Anarchy is giving it over to the guys who will turn it into chaos. Try making a living if it's in that state. What's to stop me taking your site and just using the content on my site on on a Tube site unless we have laws?

I doubt this is an "American" issue, anyone who enjoys freedom takes offense to this. Some prick from "ROME" dictating how the world communicates...hmm sounds familiar. This has nothing to do with looking at porn and other trivial yet standard freedoms, it has to do with "regulation" of something that works perfectly fine free. To those of you who like living in a zoo just to be safe I'm sure you have no problem with giving up more freedom. And why not you have the finest cages money could buy and live apart from the lesser animals. But to people who enjoy true freedom we see it as more of an infringement of it. I did not want to go too deep on this argument but it really lies deeper than just the internet and regulations.
Regulation leads to despotism and people who give up liberty for security deserve neither. Why don't they? Because their attitude towards freedom is a cavalier one and "freedom" is taken for granted. The feeling "oh if you're not doing anything wrong you have nothing to worry about" comes to mind. And to those people I ask... Empty your pocketbook for me to see, let me come in your house and inspect every inch of your property, you have nothing to hide right? Let me examine your bank records and your spending habits, you have nothing to hide right? Bullshit, everyone has something to hide and NOBODY is without sin. The internet and it's people should be "protected" by the design itself and their own brains. Getting scammed and robbed is an obstacle we must all face in life. Do you really want to live in a 100% "regulated" "safe" world?
I won't have my internet freedom trampled on nor my right to bear arms huzzah!
