^ That, but so much more.
For as much as I agree with you Barto, per norm, I also think that while the general nincompoop's whole doomsday freak out is overblown (because when you tell someone something even marginally bad and they have no idea what you just said, the answer is to freak the fuck out), it has some smidgen of warrant to it. They just gave the greediest, sleaziest, most shady motherfuckers the keys to all of our proverbial cars riding the digital superhighway, that is about as factual as an opinion can get. It's not like Ma and Pa's Net Package will crop up now, as General Paiface seems to infer with his "this will open up new doors for business"/"a more open internet"/"more competition". Bullshit. It's still going to be the titans of the industry, except now Pai gave them even more power. It is an inherent fact of the human condition that if you say to someone "here, if you wish it, you can have more", sure as fuckin' shit 99.9% of people are going to take more with a shit eating grin (that .1% is obviously Kevin Moore).
Now, how much of a shit show this will be is up in the air and yeah, I don't think it's going to ruin all of our lives. But it's not going to be good, and there is more of a chance that Pai says "P.S. All this money is going to be donated to end world hunger!" than things actually "get better" (as if something was wrong to begin with, except the bulging size of his pockets). It's just going to be more money at the end of the day. It sucks, that's all. But y'know, the older I get, the easier it is to deal with shit sucking because it seems that this is sadly the waters we're wading into as the years go on. (I seriously understand my 98 year old grandfathers utter disdain for most of the living world today more and more)

This is all of course stemming from my massive porn collection being threatened. Forget all the thriving smaller businesses online that can't afford to pay the big bucks that will no doubt die out. My porn man. MY FUCKING PORN.
