The copyright industries want to expand their rentier state to exert control at the network level. They want veto power over the presence of any copyrighted material on the internet. The only way to prevent this is to legalize a fundamental right to link.

Yes, that would be good. But the issue is that they CAN exert control - the government that is, at the behest of the lobbyists of the day, even if you legalize this specific thing.

We need to move to a Freenet model where it's nearly impossible to tell what you're doing. The system isn't working until political control is irrelevant. Free access to information is too critical to let anyone control.
