> Half of this forum would be out of a job if it wasn't for Google
This is similar to the Great man theory. If there wasn't for google there would be something else. Maybe something similar maybe something totally different. The idea that half of us would be sitting on our ass doing nothing if it weren't for google is just nonsense.

I absolutely agree with that, maybe even something better than Google. And hackers would want that regulated and/or shut down as well.
What I'm saying is that the current economy for IT would never exist if it wasn't for the free and unregulated Internet.
