ORIGINAL: OrionTheWolf Yeah but the servers and service to connect to the internet are not paid by the government. That is why there is a TOS on most if not all sites, especially if they are free sites. Actually, more to the point, the DARPAnet, which was funded by the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency, is not the same as the Internet. The latter is a loosely connected set of links, much like the old Six Degrees of Separation thing, with a common "language" to explain where things go. A simple comparison would be like the post office, just faster. Free governments do not own the mail, even when they own the postal servie. Our computers speak the TCP/IP "language", which equates to mail exchanges. The difference is the speed and the presentation, mostly. Health, al-Aswad.
