Peer 2 Peer

Browsing the internet is powerful. With some simple key strokes I found this, this, this, and a whole bunch of free stuff. The web as we know it is bar far the largest brain in history; An active encyclopedia containing an unimaginable amount of information, no matter how comely or obsequious. Except, of course, if you live in China. The rest of us bathe blissfully in Net Neutrality, usually taking it for granted. This is how Wikipedia (however unreliable) defines Net Neutrality,

"A neutral broadband network is one that is free of restrictions on content, sites, or platforms, on the kinds of equipment that may be attached, and on the modes of communication allowed, as well as one where communication is not unreasonably degraded by other communication streams."

That statement, when applied to any other medium in our present society, is completely ludicrous and unimaginable; Free of restrictions. Apply it to driving. Drug laws. The Ten Commandments. It sounds belligerent in practice, but inside the ever-growing mind of the internet, it's all available at the slightest whim of your most current avatar. As most of us know, that means free music, TV, movies, applications, and whatever else you can think of. If you're a pirate, that is. And the government no-like pirates. They're seedy purloiners, crafty no-good-knicks of questionable character and taste, brash bothersome beasts with no respect for brevity. They use slang like w00t, p2p, and "jive-turkey". And just this morning, I saw one leave these two DVDs on a bench at the Montrose L stop... ahem. Clearly, there are no rules in the series of tubes. Kids these days...
