    Yeah, about that... 2 points:

    1. It had nothing to do with net neutrality and everything to do with the DMCA.

    2. Even still, the issue was resolved in their favor without additional regulation...
    This isn't the first time a Yes Men site has found itself targeted by a DMCA complaint brought by a large corporation. The Yes Men have in the past received DMCA notices from Exxon, Dow Chemical, DeBeers, and the New York Times. In each case, the the Yes Men (represented by the Electronic Frontier Foundation) refused to comply, and prevailed.
    So do you have any actual examples?
