Joseph,
It is the idea that the Internet is a deep space of "distant servers"
and users who "really don't care what burden" they place on these
machines that will bring Gov't regulations.
The Internet has been the success that it is through self-regulation.
When a user spams/flames, then the Internet community takes the action
necessary to keep that abuse from recurring.
The same goes for robots (if not more).
Remember, these "distant servers" *ARE* the Internet.
