   @adfeno the way we explain this conflict to ourselves depends on what political assumptions we bring into our online work. If we're left-liberals or progressives we tend to blame corporations. If we're pro-capitalist propertarians (often miss-labelled as "libertarians"), we blame government and regulation. If we're anarchists (actual libertarians), we blame both. Some blame the NWO, or the banks, or something else, as the root cause of the symptoms we can see.

     @adfeno But whatever we blame, we all realize that both corporations and governments can be threats to our somewhat shared vision of a free, tolerant, creative, open, global democracy, organized at least in part using the net. So via groups like the EFF, FSF, and Fight for the Future, we join together to fight for net neutrality, and sensible copyright laws, and against fast lanes, and DRM, and link taxes. Because we can all put our our political biases aside, and see that this need to be done.
