On one side of this issue you have a co-ordinated industry that is<br>
actively trying to effect change and has shown an unwillingness to give<br>
up.<br>
<br>
On the other side you have a group that is generally content to mind<br>
their own business, only pipes up in a semi-coordinated fashion for a<br>
short spell in opposition, and then goes back to their knitting.<br>
<br>
I'd suggest to make inroads this community may want to do more of the<br>
former than the latter. Even if it is just to maintain equilibrium to<br>
guard the status quo, the notion that you just need to fight back with a<br>
letter or a petition sporadically is probably naive.<br>
<br>
Where is the competing tension in legislators' minds that there is an<br>
open Internet that needs to be preserved in order to bring its immense<br>
societal benefits? Where is the constant pressure from the industry<br>
to drive the discussion in the opposite direction, pushing for legal<br>
frameworks that afford more protections to ISPs rather than less?<br>
Wouldn't it be good not to be on the back foot all the time?<br>
<br>
Don't reach for a pitchfork. Change the playing field.<br>
