That wasn't my reason for citing it. Neither Google *nor* intermediaries should be responsible for illegal content -- to them, it's just bits moving.
The only responsibility that *either* one should bear is the ability to provide an audit trail to the real culprit, no more.
Correct. Holding a dial-up ISP responsible for content on one of it's customer's machines (or perhaps even a warez server on the other side of the globe?) is complete nonsense. Having them provide forensic info is another (more sensible) matter. -- --- Erik Haagsman Network Architect We Dare BV Tel: +31(0)10-7507008 Fax: +31(0)10-7507005 http://www.we-dare.nl
