Subject: WIPO RFC-3

It seems to me large companies already have the competitive edge. Why they need further protection is beyond me. The Internet used to be a great place, lots of fun games and interactivity, lots of creativity. Now, it is more and more becoming a dumping ground for large commercial enterprises who offer nothing except advertising. It's a place for cheap chat and commercialism. I fear if we continue down these regulatory roads, the Internet will transpire into nothing more than a quick mail and financial transaction source. It's sad, as this medium had so much potential. Leave the Internet alone, 100% alone. Allow there to be one place left in this world where freedom truly rings. We already have tons of laws that say you can't molest a child for example, why do we need anymore? Any sane thinking person knows it doesn't matter whether you met them at the park or on-line, you don't molest children, you don't give them explicit material. Do we really need to restate this, or are our resources better spen
d enforcing the laws we have? If a person illegally uses a trademark, it goes to court, just like now, whether it's a local hamburger stand calling itself McDonald's or an Internet site. We citizens are smarter than this, I wish the educated would catch up.
