> How much of that is porn, pirated movies and left wing blather? Makes you wonder if this whole interweb thing was a good idea.

My own estimate:

• Porn: 15% of the content, 49% of the bandwidth

• Movies and music: 80% of the content, 49% of the bandwidth

• Everything else: 5% of the content, 2% of the bandwidth

And then consider that in the case of the porn and movies and music, those figures represent hundreds if not thousands of duplicate copies of the same content, just in different places.

With regard to left-wing blather, it's actually not that bad. Right-wing blather has it beat hands down. :) The left may own the broadcast/cable networks, but the right owns the blogosphere and the forums.

There's no political site in the world that can touch FreeRepublic.com. I love the web.

It wouldn’t surprise me if most of the Deep Net turned out to be LOLcats stored on private drives.
