Net Neutrality, copyright, and Internet surveillance are just a few of the topics politicos are addressing these days. Lucky for us, CNET compiled detailed responses from a number of the presidential candidates about where they stand. Not all candidates chose to respond, but here are the answers from those who did:

• Hillary Clinton (D)
• John Edwards (D)
• John McCain (R)
• Barack Obama (D)
• Ron Paul (R)
  

Sadly, Stewart and Colbert did not respond.
