I hope, in say 10 years time sites such as that aren't quoted as one main reason why the Internet became a closely regulated and paid for service.

Thank you Jeremy, you haven't let me down
Right.
By 'closely regulated' I am thinking in terms of no member of the public being allowed to place content on the Internet personally but would have to submit it to a regulatory body for scrutiny and subsequent inclusion on a site appropriate to the content if deemed fit for general consumption. I have a couple of sites neither of which I submitted for scrutiny so assume that such a state doesn't currently exist.
By 'paid for service' I am referring to a situation where most sites are subscription based and those that aren't are 100% advertising. The subscription would finance the regulatory infrastructure referred to earlier. Access to the Internet via broadband or the like as opposed to content viewing is a separate issue to the above and would continue to be paid for as now.
A bit of a nightmare scenario for the Internet and those who conceived and developed it.
Edit: Just a thought...hope I haven't given PN any ideas
