BBC: Internet freedoms threatened

BBC NEWS columnist Bill Thompson has a great article on how Internet freedoms are being threatened. A quote:

The freedom of expression that was once available to users of the Internet Protocol is being stripped away. Our freedom to play, experiment, share and seek inspiration from the creative works of others is increasingly restricted so that large companies can lock our culture down for their own profit.
