You mean, like they are regulating cars? On the principle that "no car 
should be produced to run faster than the police cars"? In the end  
however, you are prosecuted not because your car ran faster than the 
Police's, but because you were trying to run away from the Police.

This way of thinking explains the attempts to cripple the Internet, in 
order to gain easier control.
