Internet Freedom

Here we have a video (not my work) that features a few internet or Youtube stars talking about net neutrality and how the big corporate interests would just love to get more control  over the internet. This is really important to me and others like me that actually create online content, not just seek to profit from the work of others.  If the corporate

interests can purchase their way into effective control over who get bandwidth, many of the content creators like myself will most likely eventually cease to exist, or pay the corporations … to use our content and profit from it as well.

From Videofreepress — June 10, 2010 — “Free Press and the Harry Potter Alliance collaborated on this video featuring a series of online celebrities and writers speaking about the importance of Net Neutrality.
Featuring John and Hank Green (the vlogbrothers); actor and blogger Wil Wheaton; bestselling author Maureen Johnson (
