But once you make it subject to law, it then becomes subject to any and all laws no matter how poorly conceived those laws may be.
Case in point; Australia.
The beauty of the internet - as originally conceived - is that it rises above all that political rubbish.
The net should remain as unadulterated and clear as the air between two men, such as ourselves, standing face to face discussing law, politics, beautiful women or whatever.
And in the event that one of us were to say something truly stupid, or even criminal, methinks it would be unwise to lay the blame on the air that stood between us.
