Control Quote by Peter Sunde
“We see this in legislations such as SOPA, PIPA, ACTA, IPRED, IPRED2, TPP, TRIPS, just to name a few. All of these legislations have the same goal - make sure that the control of the Internets goes to the rich people that already have some sort of control outside of the Internets.”
