This is exactly right, and it's why I believe we need to solve this problem in the human domain, with laws and accountability. We need new copyrights that cover serving content on the web, and gives authors control over who gets to access that content, WITHOUT requiring locked down operating systems or browser monopolies.


>with laws and accountability.

Isn't this how we get EU's digital ID nonsense? Otherwise, how do you hold an anon user behind 5 proxies accountable? What if its from a foreign country?


Laws are only enforceable in their own country, and possibly some friendly countries.

If that means blocking foreign access, the problem is solved anyway.


The last thing we need is more intellectual property restrictions.


Laws only work in domestic scenarios.

If laws appear, the entire planet, all nations must agree and ensure prosecuting on that law. I cannot imagine that happening. It hasn't with anything compute yet.

So it'll just move off shore, and people will buy the resulting data.

Also is your nick and response sarcasm?
