Business folks once ruled the internet but those days are over. The consumer is king.

Given yesterday's RIAA victory in their lawsuit in Minnesota, I expect the RIAA will start lobbying for more ways to easily identify the individual users/computers - the easiest way to do *that*, of course, is to give each computer a truly unique address rather than allow some unknown number of authorized and freeloading computers to all hide behind one NAT on a wireless cable/DSL modem. I predict this will finally be the Killer App that IPv6 has been waiting for. :)
