The Day the Internet Died

The day the Internet dies will be the day that phone companies get the right to control what sites I can access easily and what sites I cannot. Apart from the obvious wrong of limiting the bandwidth of a less-important Web site (in other words a Web site that doesn't have enough money to fill the belly of the phone companies' green monster) it will cost a lot of people their jobs. Honest artists make honest livings over the internet.
