3. Read the recharge section at the bottom

It's fake. However, it could become real during any Friday's news-dump. Scary shit.

4. oh i know. looks like the satellite tv ad or cable. that's why i asked.

scared me!! i don't think people realize it. i have tried to explain what that would mean for them. i mean.... do you watch netflix!! would you like to have to pay extra because the cable company doesn't like having to compete?? grr.... how hard is it to understand!! and we have dumped cable/satellite altogether. we got an internet streaming device and watch netflix, hulu and internet programs. the more people who do this, and i have known a few personally who have done this , the more likely this is to happen. they are losing money.

5. Unfortunately, this will be the future.

This is what companies want.

Has there ever been something that companies wanted that our government was able to give them, but didn't eventually cave in and give them?

Are there enough reps in government who care enough about our freedoms from the grip of big business to make sure this doesn't happen?

What about after big businesses goes on spending sprees to make sure those reps get replaced with conservaDems who are much more "business friendly?"

They can keep spending money until they get the right people in the right places to make this happen. We only have to lose once for our rights online to be all over.
