[QUOTE="Dave70968, post: 3060634, member: 13624"] Is there anything you [I]don't[/I] want the government to regulate? Also, do you even know what "monopoly" (and its close cousin "oligopoly") means? Run your own hosting and you can have any features you want, many of them much more powerful that YouTube. Yes, you'll have to pay for your own hosting; no, nobody owes you free hosting, regardless of the suite of features. "Free press" means free as in speech, not free as in beer. If you want to say something that somebody else (who is paying the bills) doesn't want to host, start writing cheques for your own hosting. A handful of sites out of millions, including the one you, yourself can set up. Rackspace (and others) will give you a bare pipe and you can do whatever you want; others provide hosting with some technical limitations, but don't concern themselves with your content (again, within the bounds of the law; your kiddie-porn collection won't fly). In times past, when a few big newspapers dominated the discourse, individuals went out to--yes--the streetcorner with handbills. They wanted to get a message out, so they put forth a little effort to do so. Yes, arranging your own hosting, and paying market rate, is more effort than clicking "upload" and sitting back while the hits roll in. Google, [I]et al.[/I], owe you nothing. Get over yourself, snowflake. [/QUOTE]
