Whatever ultimately goes down however, I don't think there can be much question as to who paved the way.
It would have been nice to see the criminal organizations like the Phaze group, Liam Jones' network and the HornyWhores/LiveMedia crime rings have to defend themselves. But luckily for them they are protected by people who think that any law the government passes will take away their cute kitten videos on YouTube. The criminals are loving all the free lobbying being done on their behalf.
