Information may one day become free but just like the CD/DVD-R/RW prices went up – the cost for broadband will likely get a ‘piracy tax’… let’s guess at something like $20/month for every line, dialup or otherwise….. and the US will prolly do something like charge every ISP outside of America the USA access charge – if they dont pay $20/month for each IP address they want to be able to access American IP ranges…. If an IP tried to access an American IP and isn’t on a ‘paid to access’ list then it’d be blocked by the Gov’t filters into the country…

lol, that’s a worst case but I bet to ’some’ extent I’ll be proven right.

True, but the ‘mule and the ‘wire are still know by relatively few people.
What this shows, though is that more and more people are becoming aware of filesharing. Once filesharing and the appropriate programs (no spyware and open source) used become known to the masses, the media cartel will lose all control over information. I am looking forward to the day when information will be completely free. Once people have the right information, then the rest of the government-cartel infrastructure will be forced to change in favor of the comman man.
