Destroying the internet free market

Obama wants to keep us safe from the internet... that is... the government wants more control. Of course this is not surprising, but scary nonetheless. The only reason why the internet thrives is because of its non-governmental regulations and open source capabilities.

Only buy if you like

This is how torrent sites 'sell' games:

1. Unrar.
2. Burn or mount the image.
3. Install the game. Use the keygen in the /Crack dir on the DVD when
prompted for a serial.
4. Copy over the cracked content from the /Crack dir on the DVD to
installdirGameBin.
5. Play the game. Be sure to have a firewall prevent the launcher and main
game from going online.
6. Support the software developers. If you like this game, BUY IT


Could this be the future of art/media? Pay if/when you like?
Somehow, the de-corporatized free market world which lives within the internets works.

State-Sponsored Capitalism

State-sponsored capitalism is when a government pours money into a certain sector of the economy regardless of the reason (e.g. bailout). It also refers to a monopoly on the monetary system, where there is only one type of currency deemed to be of legal tender within a given domain. In reality, state-sponsored capitalism is not capitalism at all as it dilutes the free market through subsidization and increases centralized control through a monopolistic monetary system.

On Anarchy

If anarchy does indeed incur, those who believe in socialism will do so of their own accord. Of course, you cannot force people to do the same as there will be defensive resistance. If one believes in the success of socialism (or communism, and the like), one would then too need to believe that this system would work through voluntary measures. Voluntary groups, communes/insurance companies etc., would take over and one would choose their own services without necessarily having to move.
