Has it come to this?

German hackerspace shack (Stutgart Hackerspace) has proposed putting its own satellites in space in order to maintain a free an open internet. 

Think it's crazy?  Spain just passed the Sinde Law, an onerous attempt to protect private IP rights holders.  Luckily, the tide seems to be turning on the US's similar effort, SOPA.

With western countries following China's lead on restricting the open internet, it's no wonder individuals will need to launch private satellites.
