I don't understand, how in the world do they plan to differentiate normal legal traffic from illegal pirating???
It doesn't matter. That's the beauty of legal processes, they're not bound by physical laws or other external realities. Only by what a small group of people with appropriate jurisdiction and police powers can be convinced to agree upon. So if given the authority they decided you shall not deliver content they deem inappropriate OR ELSE then that will be your choice. If they decided you should fly around the room and spit wooden nickels OR ELSE, oh, do jail time, then you'll end up in jail. But, of course, it'll be a lot easier to get a committee with appropriate jurisdication to agree that any content they find objectionable oughta be filtered, OR ELSE, and leave the details to others to work out. To say this is not operational would be like claiming that filtering out rogue BGP announcements are not operational. -- -Barry Shein The World | bzs@TheWorld.com | http://www.TheWorld.com Purveyors to the Trade | Voice: 800-THE-WRLD | Login: Nationwide Software Tool & Die | Public Access Internet | SINCE 1989 *oo*
