Oh, I agree, but as you stated that stuff is already illegal. I doubt 
VoIP or having your own Asterisk box will be illegal any time soon. To 
many people are using VoIP now. And as stated before, in order for you 
to make or recive calls from a "normal" phone you have to pay somebody 
something, somewhere. So a company is usually involved.
