US Court of Appeals: An IP address isn't enough to identify a pirate
It surprises me in a way that "big internet" (AT&T, Verizon, Comcast etc) and associated large enterprise interests have not been more staunch proponents of IPv6, at least for fixed consumer connections.<p>It would be trivial in that circumstance to blow away any kind of NAT and the pseudo-anonymity/plausible deniabililty it provides and make client devices performing illegitimate activity directly identifiable.<p>I wonder if such a ruling might be different in that context. It's a perturbing thought.
