They're just getting started -
Obama "IP czar" wants felony charges for illegal Web streaming - but what constitutes illegal?
And how do you think that will mesh with -
Obama administration endorses new privacy regs, Do Not Track
And the penny drops, the lights come on, and business finally figured out who was playing whom -
CCIA: copyright wiretaps are Hollywood's "PATRIOT Act"
Does all that tie to net neutrality and if so, how?
I think it does, directly and tangentially. Washington has been behind the digital curve for a long time - and while we were laughing at that, they were smarting.
Now they've learned that can count on corporate greed and we've learned a few politicians and bureaucrats are still masters at divide and conquer. Seems Washington still knows a few things about control that business didn't count on.
Like I said earlier - the camel gets into the tent by sticking his nose in first. And we'll foot the bills.
