buy into? no, but im believing at this point, we can never be to careful, i actually got into a discussion about this in my poli sci class, and my teacher said its actually a big issue, Bill Moyers even did a speech on this issue back in janurary 2007. this is a little sample of it: http://www.democracynow.org/20...enous

it will never happen, just like they will never tax every e-mail you send out.

I'm moving this to politics.
Mr Moyer makes a very passionate, if very lengthy and rambling argument. However, he doesn't back up any of his points with facts or with proposed legislation. If he's not going to easily back up his diatribe with facts pulled from proposed legislation, why should I believe what he has to say? He doesn't even mention once in his rant about government taxation on net usage. His entire article is against conglomerate consolidation of internet media. That has NOTHING to do with your original purpose OP. Nothing.
Also, and this is just me nitpicking a little more. Mr Moyer really should have taken a few extra minutes to collect his thoughts and construct a well laid out argument. I found myself skimming 80% of his article because it was trivial fluff that was designed to incite a feeling of persuasion for his cause, whatever it really is.
Spinning an issue only incites emotion, actually presenting a situation and what needs to be done about incites action.
