Internet Access as a Legal Right?

Your neighbour just came to a small visit, he noticed your internet connection and realized “I want that too”. Yes he can choose some internet provider, he can find ideal speed/price ratio for him and apply for a connection. But that’s outdated, at least in Finland it is. Finland has become first country in the world having internet access as a legal right.

So instead of choosing an internet provider he will use his “right to the internet”  and government makes the rest. I bet they will tax you, using your money for that connection, but it really doesn’t matter, doesn’t it?

CNN says that it is view shared by the United Nations, I think it is great. Dear United Nations what about my right to space flight, right to car, right to an island in pacific?

The Universal Declaration of Human Rights, article 3rd says:

Everyone has the right to life, liberty and security of person.

So stop taking people’s money, their property, product of their work their supplies which serves as instrument of personal security. Where are you going to take all the money from? I have not noticed that the Finnish government or the UN would be profitable institutions.

Murray Rothbard in his book the Ethics of Liberty with a reference to Franz Oppenheimer says:

There are only two means to the acquisition of wealth. One is the method of production, generally followed by voluntary exchange of such products: this is what Oppenheimer called the economic means. The other method is the unilateral
seizure of the products of another: the expropriation of another man's property by violence. This predatory method of getting wealth Oppenheimer aptly termed the political mean

Welcome in the world when violence is used for a “good” purpose, everyone needs the Internet!
