Is Internet Access a Fundamental Right?

Somebody has to pay for the infrastructure, hardware, software, I.T and networking professionals that make it all happen. It is a privilege, not a right. I guess we could just raise taxes even more, so everyone can have free access. Obamanet to the rescue!

this could be good news

while I don't believe that Internet access is a Right, I do believe that being allowed to buy Internet access is a right, and therefor these 'three strikes' laws that the big publishers want that would kick you off the Internet if they claim you have violated their IP three times are a big problem.

if the politicians listen to stories like this one, they may think twice about approving laws that the majority of their people believe would violate their 'Rights'

Fun-DUH-Mental Rights

Here is the US, if you are known as "Progressive", you view the Constitution as a living document, and you can "interpret" it to mean whatever you want it to mean on any given day.

This gives us lots of flexibility. If I want the RIGHT to a job, I can have it. If I want the RIGHT to a cool car, a cell phone (with unlimited voice and data, of course), etc, its there.

And most important, if I'm in control, and I don't like what you say, I can call you stupid and put a muzzle on you, all for the good of our great citizens.
