Operation: Internet Freedom and Revolution

Google, E-bay, Facebook, Amazon, and Wikipedia are all the top websites of the entire World Wide Web. And they are all free. Ever since the opening up of information and sharing of information of the 1960's, there has been a huge internet revolution. The revolution started with the hippie movement in San-Francisco, the idea of the time was that everyone should be free, open and sharing. And, coincidentally, San Fran. was the place where the first civilian computers came together under a server called The Well. The Well was just a server that allowed gigantic chat rooms, all linking the computers and thus the people involved. Soon, once people were designing software and sharing it, everyone was getting the same software, thus similar to the sharing movement of the 60's. But, a man named Bill Gates began to end the era of sharing software. He decided that if you designed something, and someone else wanted to use it that they should pay you for it. Not long after that, a young man in a dorm room restarted that idea about sharing information. He began by sharing music. Anyway, should the information we have amongst us be so free? Should Google, E-bay, Facebook, Amazon, and Wikipedia regulate their website's usage? I think that if they wanted to make much more money than they are making right now, that yes they should. People will never stop using Google, even if they charge only one cent a month, they would make millions of dollars more than they do already. But, I can say that, if...if... they decide to stop making their websites free, I will boycott using their information services. I do not have to have Google to write a research paper, and I would not give a single cent to any of those websites to use them. I think that those services should remain free and open to the public, and to the world.
