Network neutrality -- or Net Neutrality -- is the principle that preserves a free and open Internet. Net neutrality ensures that all users can access the content, or run the applications and devices of their choice.
Rock the Net is a nationwide coalition of musicians and labels that support net neutrality. We come together at this critical time to demonstrate to Congress and the FCC the music community's broad support for this principle. As musicians and entrepreneurs, we understand the importance of treating all websites equally -- from the busiest online music store to the smallest blog. We urge Congress to support network neutrality.
Future of Music Coalition advocates: 1# Provide equal access to all web sites and online services. ISPs should not use their "pipes" to give preferential
treatment to those that are willing to pay for it. Likewise, one type of content should not arrive faster than another. An email with a text attachment should not be prioritized over one with an MP3 attachment.
2# Encourage creative, technological and economic innovation. Unequal access to the web could stunt this growth and
hurt business competition. Competition -- not choices by the big ISPs -- should determine what succeeds or fails on the Internet.
3# Foster democratic participation for all citizens: an individual should be able to reach any web site regardless of its
origin. An ISP should not block your access to a competitor's web site or block access to certain sites for political reasons.
