But how do we accomplish this without eliminating all free enterprise on 
the Internet, where anyone with access can establish themselves as a 
meaningful entity, rather than turning the Internet into what exists now 
in broadcast television, where viewers are wholly passive entities with 
no direct influence on the medium?
The bottom line is that requiring business registration creates a much 
higher hurdle for starting new online businesses, and this is 
unacceptable, seeing what the existing freedom on the Internet has given 
the world aside from spam.
