It's all about the average users (Score 1)

You're right, as long as you can connect two computers together, nobody can control what you do on those two computers. Someone else posted that people can start again with BBS's, Fidonet, etc. Great. But remember that those weren't nearly as useful as the Internet is today. The Internet became so valuable because people - normal, non-Slashdot reading, non-hacking people - use it, create content, read content, upload MP3's. If Napster were only used by the Slashdot crowd, it would not have been useful. It was only when thousands of high school and college kids started uploading and sharing all their music that it became valuable. You can always create a music sharing system that's unbreakable, but if corporations can get the ten largest ISPs to block it, it won't get critical mass. That is the point that a lot of people are missing. No matter how good the technical fix, as long as most of the ordinary people on the Internet are controllable, then any behavior can be kept far enough at the margins that it won't ever be a threat.
