Should we eliminate trademark enforcement?

That's all about trademark enforcement (and a bad analogy). Got anything about net neutrality?

It's government laws preventing companies from interfering in commerce. Where else do you see equivalents to net neutrality? If you're a business in New York, do you have to pay some phone company in California for their customers to be able to call you with any reasonable quality? Of course not. For the Internet networks, the government created it, the government subsidized construction of lines to the tune of billions of dollars, the government granted monopolies, easements and eminent domain. This is not an entirely free-market place we're going into, it's a public utility network run by public resources and private entities who do already profit off of the current neutral system.

What would be interesting would be to see the anti-neutrality crowd post only stuff about net neutrality, instead of confusing things with the unrelated issues of fairness doctrine and universal access.
