No, I mean like paying for enough lobbyists to get legislation passed that would make SOPA/PIPA/CISPA/PCIPA impossible in the future. To enshrine Internet freedom. Currently, the discourse is oriented around the Internet having too much freedom and that it naturally needs reining in.

      Yeah. I think all of the internet companies need to start lobbying like they were possessed, while everyone that can needs to start trying trying at the same time to push for de-corrupting the political system. It's not going to be a small effort.
