Unnamed Administration sources reported that Bret McDanel said:
If you make a policy where you dont give out customer information, when do you break that policy? After 2 complaints? 5? Whatever the number, there is always someone out there who can and will abuse that, for whatever reason..
Don't need to. Offer to set up a three-way call. Then {Sprint} and alleged victim can both talk to alleged source.
I dont know, i still think that may be somewhat intrusive to the customer of the ISP (and adds extra load onto the ISP).. If the 'victim' doesnt press criminal charges against the client, or doesnt bring forth a civil suit, then I dont see that the ISP need give up any information, nor do they need to play operator and 3-way everyone in.. Restricting access is a different matter however.. As they are to some degree responsible for what crosses their network (providing they have been made aware of it).. -- Bret McDanel http://www.rehost.com Realistic Technologies, Inc. 973-514-1144 These opinions are mine, and may not be the same as my employer
