I'm convinced the internet we know today is very quickly going to get fragmented into distinct regions (china-style). This worldwide plan "known by many names" (SOPA/PIPA/ACTA) has obviously already been decided during the last G8 summit. These clampdowns of the internet are going through, one way or another. The G8 governments are scared to death of the Internet. They've been watching the Arab spring movement in absolute horror at how quickly citizens can organize over a free internet and overthrow their government, which is obviously quite threatening if you're in a position of power, and you're pilfering your citizens wealth with draconian economic actions.
