Given how many people use the internet, I think it is a miracle it survived mostly unregulated for so long. I personally do not doubt it will slowly be assimilated by society and progressively get locked down, but it is in my opinion a testament to the first real users of the internet, and to 'geeks' worldwide that they fostered a culture that made it possible to call the internet a modern-day Wild West for a time.
