I would like to ask Congress what their responsibility is? Back in the nineties, Congress put a lot of my money into guaranteeing that the internet was available at low cost to all institutions of higher learning. (There's a six dollar charge on my second phone line every month that goes into a fund toward this goal.) The institutions themselves put a lot of money and effort into it as well. I distinctly remember reading newspaper articles in the NYT and San Jose Mercury News touting the fact that having the internet available in every dorm room would unlock the creativity of students and create a generation of internet entrepreneurs. The moment this happened (Napster) all hell broke loose.
