It's their problem they didn't realize the value of the internet... typical.. we thought forward and created something that changed the world now everyone thinks they deserve to control it, it belongs to the world, not us, bullshit.

It started on our land, our satellites, our infrastructure, our people made it, it was our project, our idea, it's ours, not anyone elses. If we want to let them tap into it, we will. If they don't like the way we do things, make your own internet with your own naming authority. Anyone can do it, right?

This mentality is EXACTLY why pirating is so popular around the world. People think they deserve to get for free what all of us work our asses off for.
It is amazing at how we can share the same opinion but have completely different reasons for it.

I don't care about the Internet being a U.S.A invention. Protecting America isn't a priority for me.

My comment is "If they don't want to fucking share" SCREW EM!

Personally I'm sick and friggin tired of living in one country and still having to worry about if an American politician has a bad gas of farts.

IE: In Canada we have to strengthen our borders to safe guard America. Or Alberta can't possible sell beef to any other nation in the world. Because of the damn Free-Trade agreement. (Which Canada does it's best to honour but American views it only as a suggestion.)

But this isn't a slam against just the good old U.S.A.

I'm now living in France, the land of the bureaucrat and baguette.

Too much paperwork.
Too much regulation.
Too many Tabous with talent.

So my corporation is registered in Italy and my bank accounts are in England. And I go to Russia to film.
