Where did you get the "free as intended" concept?
Pot smoking hippies on the web.....
It isn't right that someone should make a PROFIT! 
Ahh... POT ! -
The memories keep drifting away.
Tried some one (all) Bank Holiday weekend in the early 80s. Come the Tuesday morning, up with the lark and drove off to work with a smile on my face. Got to work, hit the coffee machine, sat down at my desk, picked up the phone and couldn't remember ANY of the multitude of phone numbers I'd been dialling for the past 4 years. Couldn't remember driving to work that morning. Panic set in.
Wandered around most of the day 'just checking up' on different projects scattered around the building, until the phone numbers began to seep back into my addled brain.
Never smoked Pot again.
Found out about 10 years later that the bloke who'd supplied the home-grown stuff had endured much the same Tuesday morning as I had, but had opted to continue cultivating and using this stuff. Was told he was now the permanent occupant of a rocking chair in some nursing home somewhere. 
When I heard this I got really annoyed - I hadn't been offered the chance to buy his car!! :^0
threats to the internet?
so my question is this how likly is it that the ptb governments etc could restrict access or block content and if so is there anything we could do to keep this vital resource free as it was intended.
thank you in advance all info would be welcome.

Taking questions on a conference call with reporters and analysts, he said that moves could begin "within the next 12 months?" adding: "The current days of the internet will soon be over."
