Net neutrality? What net neutrality?!

There is no reason to argue anymore about net neutrality. Why? Because it has been screwed up long time ago.

I still remember that–really, loooong time ago–any internet service could be used by virtually anyone on the globe.

Not anymore. Video on demand delivers a nice example how internet has been screwed up beyond repair. I am currently located in Germany, and I would really like to watch US movies. Just for my entertainment.

Easy, eh? Go to Amazon.com (http://www.amazon.com/gp/video/ontv/start, to be exact) and try to watch a movie. You get to see this:

YOU MUST BE KIDDING!

The net is now partitioned along country borders and license agreements.

THAT IS LAME

I feel like a little stupid white mouse in the lab. Some boneheads are laughing their heads off watching me try to access anything sensible. The only stuff we can access globally are moronic brainless pages like Facebook.

This is not the internet I want to have. I want to have a free, unrestricted internet access for ALL.

Am I alone in the woods?

STOP SCREWING UP THE INTERNET!
