- mithrasinvictus, on 01/23/2008, -0/+1how would protecting that data take anything away from those kinds of users?
- mithrasinvictus, on 01/23/2008, -0/+1RTFA before you submit please, thanks
- mithrasinvictus, on 01/23/2008, -0/+1its not about banning the internet protocol, its about considering an ip address as personal information, just like the telephone number in your example.
Imagine your calls were being logged (and by a company you have not given permission to do so with and which logs most of all calls worldwide) wouldn't you like to know that the storage and processing of that data was subject to privacy laws? - inactive, on 01/22/2008, -1/+2They should, because most people have static IPs and they can be flooded once someone find their Ip.
- Error601, on 01/22/2008, -2/+1Wouldn't they also have to ban caller-id? It's total nonsense anyway, since the IP must be available to anyone you connect to in order for the protocol to work.
- Durinthal, on 01/22/2008, -2/+1But not everyone does. What about those that have dynamic IPs? And what if people share the same computer? How about public computers in libraries?
- bCon, on 01/22/2008, -5/+0This destroys the notion of anonymity online...I'm sure the RIAA, etc. love this.
