To quote Terminator 3,
The internet is just that. There is not one spot that companies can control and put copyrights and fees on. It's public domain, and will always stay that way, even if some sections of it don't. Worst case scenario is someone starts again from scratch with an Internet II, having to build an entire separate infrastructure to avoid the man. But it wouldn't be one guy, it'd spread slowly from all over the place. If Internet I died/had too much crap to deal with, Internet II would be people networking computers together locally through LAN, then it would just spread from there. Soon you have a city networked, then a province/state, and it'll just keep spreading until we're all hooked into this giant LAN (WAN), free of charge, called Internet II."By the time Skynet became self-aware it had spread into millions of computer servers across the planet. Ordinary computers in office buildings, dorm rooms; everywhere. It was software; in cyberspace. There was no system core; it could not be shutdown."
