The Future of the Internet

Although this whole 20 minute video is interesting I was very surprised about the information presented at 4:30 in. The speaker mentions how there will be an internet version of 9/11, spurring the gov't to implement an internet patriot act in order to censor and monitor the internet more easily. The speaker isn't some cook, he's one of the co-founders of Creative Commons and is a professor at Stanford University.
NS, what are your thoughts on this?

i'm not going to watch that now, but i'd like to say one thing that would be really cool is if they could downsize the sizes of files/programs. So instead of having a 3mb song, it'd only be 300kb. It would be funny for people 50 years from now when you only need like 10mb of storage for 10,000 songs, and they are laughing about the terabyte harddrives people are using in present day.
