I don't buy it as a reason to make what they're doing illegal, which is what a few in this discussion are advocating.

That'd be like making IPX illegal, because it prevents those machines from properly interoperating with TCP/IP.

While I don't advocate making it illegal (well, not moreso than I do for any other irresponsible act), your analogy misses the mark. I fail to see how I could enter an IP address as a destination and have it go to a different destination because the IPX network carried it there. *waits for tongue-in-cheek replies about tunneling* -c
