I've been working with "people making regulations" (about the Internet) 
for over a decade now, with the objective often being to make sure they 
don't legislate for the impossible.

There's bound to be a period where the pendulum swings back and forth, 
and even perhaps the need for a new "London to Brighton protest run". 
But I don't think it's realistic to expect the status quo to prevail 
indefinitely.
