An Idealistic veiw of Internet Policy

When considering internet policy, it is good to consider, in my opinion the different ways in which governments are created, policed, and which succeed and which fail. I may be taking this at a reach, but like in the article by Langdon Winner, he discusses the idea that artifacts like the internet or bombs have political incentives. In that case, when discussing internet policy and how it should be used and distributed, should we consider it a new form of community which would then need its own government?
When I consider this, I believe that, although I am not happy to see it Capitalism may be the thriving force which will allow the internet to continue, as we can see already with companies like ebay, google, and apple making gazillions of dollars through internet capitalism and owning possible monopolies in their own piece of the internet.
With that in mind, when internet policy is considered, the regulations should be on the companies in my opinion who provide the services to the users of it, while the users themselves should be given a hypothetical "free reign" on what they do and how they go about it.
I believe some companies like w3schools.com and creativecommons.org are pushing in a direction which some would think that the internet is becoming to much "free reign" and "socialist." These companies in fact, are two which I believe are ones which should the example of how internet policy should be implemented. W3schools uses the internet as a teaching tool, providing information to its users of how to manipulate the web and discover new ways to use it. Creative Commons allows users to set open source availability to their creative pieces of work and allows for the promotion of arts and sciences, which laid down in the constitution is the very reason for copyright in the first place. On the opposite end companies like Disney are using their money to extend copyright terms beyond what I consider "a limited amount of time" before they are released into the public domain, which is another example of how if internet policy is similar to that of government law, would major corporations abuse their power in order to change the way the internet is used in order to benefit their own wallets? I think so.
Internet policy should be determined by the people and not how much money a corporation will make or the potential loss of money. Although my ideas may be considered idealistic, it is what I would like to see in my own perfect view of how the internet should be ran.

McDatabase

Databases as a whole affect the way people create media everyday. Databases structure and organize our information no matter if you are buying lunch or creating a sculpture made of a piece of marble. The database is the categorization and infrastructure, which these pieces of media (or food for my example) are intertwined. The largest database I feel now is Google. Google affects everyone, and anyone even if you are not online. Google categories people’s interests, search results, weather stats, books, just about anything. Articles written about a tribe of people who do not have Internet and have not touched civilization are put into the google database and are categorized. I design websites, and use databases to inspire my web design. For example you can go to Flickr’s Color Pickr and based on Flickr’s photo database select a specific color which to find images and create new media. The people who post these photos and categorize the colors are apart of this large database used freely by all who go to the website. Media by in large is created by databases, another example of this is the food industry. Food is mass produced, shipped in categories and presented to us in categories. If you end up at a McDonald’s (which I hope you don’t) you will see the categorization and database structure right in front of your eyes. Even further separated into smaller databases of categories if specific meals or value items. The database is used by librarians when shelving books, by a web programmer when adding metatags to allow for google and other web searches to find the information on your website, accountants use databases to structure money assets, photographers use databases to inspire them for new ways to take an image, and graphic designers use databases to create new designs for new “looks.” Although it may seem that an original idea may be behind a piece of art or a cheeseburger, I believe there is a database of information which is the basis for it all.
