I find it humorous how a bunch of fossils in power try to deal with technology. Then you add in they are all power hungry elitists who want everything their way. When something shows up out of their control, they go crazy.
I would love to be a fly on the wall at some of those meeting just to hear the scheming and raging that must go on. But you are correct this is one technology they cant control... short of Armageddon that is lol ;)
I think we gain some insight when we see the reaction to a Russia. When another country does it they are more public about their distain at the threat to their power.
We need to keep pushing things further out so these entities are powerless. After all, the US government still cannot stop file sharing.
