this is beginning to turn into one big conspiracy-thread i think.

This is still only regarding companies that specifically marketing their products as a way to commit crimes.

I know this might be seen as a slippery slope-thingie, but I don't think a law is unreasonable only because 'the next law' might not be.

I share your fear for the future, but i also know that the internet wont be controlled, even if they make it illegal. It's not gonna happen.

Another thing i firmly believe is that when capitalist institutions try to enforce the development of the internet or society, they forget that _we_ are the society. When the laws of society are representing the capitalist agenda and the people are not, society as we know it is no more.

We are society. Nobody else. That's why it isn't us against them. It's just interests against other intererest. What is concerning in this perspective is that the interestests that opposes us are the fundamental driving forces in our society. They have the money in a capitalistic society.

So is that a problem? I don't really think so, because at some time, it will become clear that the guys with the money aren't representing society any more. They aren't representing us. This will hopefully mean that society will be based around the free flow of information instead of the free flow of money, or something like that.

Which would be kinda neat, i think.

At this point in my post i realise that I'm representing two opposing views here, so i guess I have to think about it...

This calls for an extraordinary mix of psychology and extreme violence!
