Look at how the government and corporations have run wild together: patents on seeds, patents on numbers (the "Digg Incident"), etc. If things don't change, I honestly think that within our lifetime, there won't be a cell or microbe in our body that actually belongs to us - it'll all be the property of private enterprise, backed by the government. The people have spoken over and over again on file sharing, not just in the United States, but around the world. It just seems that Americans are less willing to actually stand up for themselves. If the FBI raided an American-run P2P service's servers, would we see the mass protests that we saw in Sweden when they (tried to) shut down The Pirate Bay? I'm starting to think "no".
