I quite agree, but currently, even if we don't like them, these lines 
are put forth by democratic governments (the ones we discussed anyway)/ 
Would you rather it be any other way? Please elaborate.

Things might move slowly, but that is why we can influence and things do 
move ahead. The anarchists might claim differently, and I'd believe 
them... but I kind of like living in relative safety and order *in 
comparison to the 11th century or maybe the wild west[1] - people always 
give that example).

[1] wild west: I wonder how taking the law into the citizens hands might 
look like on the Internet? And I am not just talking about abuse email, 
evidence collecting and the gray issues. Government don't seem very capable.
