In the Michael J. Miller column of my current PC Mag: <Quote> PRIVACY RIGHTS ON TRIAL If you are worried about your privacy when you surf the Web, you should keep tabs on a legal case unfolding in Washington, DC. The Recording Industry Association of America asked a judge to force Verizon to disclose the name of an Internet subscriber who allegedly made recordings widely available on the peer-to-peer network Kazaa. The District Court judge granted the motion. Most major ISPs filed briefs in favor of Verizon, which is appealing the case. I'm not advocating music piracy, but the implications of this case could be far-reaching. Will ISPs start monitoring the behavior of subscribers on their networks? Will they be able to scan the contents of files and e-mail on any PC? The possibilities are worrisome. I don't think any of us wants our ISPs turning into Big Brother. </Quote> lurqer
