Couple points about this video:
  1. If the future of the Internet is some guy posting a link to a YouTube video and forcing me to watch a stupid 12 min. video, instead of concisely synthesizing the idea in something I can read, then yes, I hope the Internet does die.
  2. The chick in that video has nice boobs...
  3. ...but she is an attention whore. You might remember her from a blog in which she claimed she'd commit suicide in 90 days, or a blog in which she offered to sleep with any virgin who agreed to fight for net neutrality. To paraphrase a famous tattoo in Memento, don't believe her lies.
  4. This video has a lot of claims with few facts. Fortunately, CreateBlog has a Friendly Local Computer Scientist that knows this video is bullshit. Simple reason: Business. An unrestricted ISP would fare much better in the market place than a restricted one. Second reason: The EU. 'Nough said (but I can supply more reasons if need be).
  5. If nothing else, a group of hackers can just hack the Gibson.

That is probably the best post I've seen here in a very long time.

The video is founded in hyperbole.
