  And another thing, it's amazing to hear one after another gasp of astonishment that a
  corporate entity is, oh my god, ACTING IN IT'S OWN SELF INTEREST!!!!
  
  Whaddya expect, Santa Clause???
  
  If there are going to be any changes, you'll have to address that fact of life and accept it
  as a given. Any new laws or government enforced restructuring, such as dividing a
  common carrier from the content, is going to have to be crafted so that an entity can
  persue that natural 'survival instinct' to promote itself and it's products, and ensure it
  doesn't resort to slander or other means of illegally harming existing or potential competitors.
