I've been considering lobbying for the imposition of an Internet license
for years now. I could think of a few people that need theirs yanked.

Even if you are kidding -- which I hope you are, then the Internet would
turn into a pretty meaningless endeavor the entire point of the Internet is
that anyone can use it, from anywhere in the world. Who would enforce these
licenses? The US? What about the people in Korea, do they need to come to
the US to receive an Internet license?
This idea made my stomach turn ;-)
