Yes, this is getting very offtopic very fast. Politics, philosophy and 
legal are explicitly forbidden on the list, and this hits all 3. 

Could y'all knock it off, please?

Please see this for NANOG AUP: http://www.nanog.org/aup.html

Off-topic: 

* Whining as in, "so-and-so are terrible lawbreakers and they owe 
us". 

* Network neutrality (this has been discussed to death here) - unless you
have something poignant to add and you've read in detail what has been
said previously.

* Anything political that does not have operational impact.

* Anything legal that does not have operational impact.

On-topic: 

* Operational impact of legal/political/financial external constraints.
