Re: Using IP address legal & practical Can you imagine the influx of calls that these ISPs are going to receive even if piracy was so rampant? This is not going to fix anything: it's only going to cause MORE problems like increased costs to ISPs, unless I'm missing something here.
And with all due respect, I thought you were against government intervention of any kind?

Where did you get the mistaken idea? There is a place for laws. I am just against government handing out money to society's drones. |

He's only against government intervention when it interferes with big business. |

| Government intervention should be rare and occur primarily to combat fraud and abuse. Whether it benefits or interferes with big or small business should be irrelevant. I think a lot of current regulations are made specifically to target big business (sometimes correctly, sometimes not), and small businesses suffer greatly in the crossfire. |
