Yes, of course the internet should be subject to law... a world outside of porn, DMCA notices, and tube sites does exist.

Exactly. Those things don't appear on the Internet because of laws.
Most arguing the other side just want to pick and choose the laws they like. Do they want a total amnesty for child porn sites on the Internet?

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 original concept of the Internet as a place above the constraints of political control. And look what it gave you. A place where people can say "Fuck your laws, I'm above them I'm on the Internet."
Well that's not going to last. Get used to it.
What ever the outcome of this poll.
The Internet is subject to the law and will be more and more subject to it in the future. Adapt or die.
