by doing that, the legislators manage to end up restricting the users
freedoms and rights, instead of the evil companies. If we do not agree,
we wait 4 years, vote for someone else and then begin a process of
reforming the law. When an evil company tries to take away your rights,
you simply stop paying them, and go somewhere else. Unless you make
your own company and start competing with them.<br><br>When <span class="misspell">un</span>-elected
members of the European Council removes amendments that guarantees
basic fundamental human rights, we need to ask ourselves, who the evils
ones really are, or if there are any at all. <br> <br>>Aiming for parliamentary seats means aiming to be a regulator:" <br><br>One might as well aim for a seat to stop regulation, but in regards to <span class="misspell">netneutrality</span>; regulating a freedom doesn't secure it per say. In my opinion, <span class="misspell">netneutrality</span> as we know it, is a tool to regulate the <span class="misspell">internet</span>,
in order to secure what is known as "lawful information", obviously
providing an excellent excuse for striking at anything the <span class="misspell">un</span>-elected EU Council and the US FCC regards as "unlawful information".<br><br>That's a more or less direct attack on our movement <span class="misspell">imo</span>.<br>

to am138, we could have guaranteed these rights with a few lines of
text, but we ended up spending years and millions of Euro participating
in the democratic circus, only to see the Council force its way. The
best way of proving integrity, would be to not vote for the text as it
stands.<br><br>>what regulation benefits us, consumers and the public at large?<br><br>Indeed and what kind of regulations end up doing the opposite?<br><br>>how do we WANT the e-commerce directive to be?<br><br>Exactly,
how do we want our future to be. The e-commerce directive is very
important, unfortunately we don't have enough people in the danish
party to get into it, as we are fighting for our existence, but I look
forward to reading what you come up with.
