Using Brin to thwart ISP subpoenas

[Steve Schear]

This crackpot idea is a follow-on to my suggestion for improving public library privacy in the face of TLA inquiries. The basic notion here is for na ISP to allow all its premises to be bugged. Every room (except maybe the restroom) by its clients (or their proxies). All communication could be monitored and the ISP would have no control. My understanding of court orders that they must be served on the ISP at its business address. Once the order is opened or discussed by the designated employee who receives the data all its clients would know in short order. The employees and management will not have been responsible because they have not taken any affirmative actions to allow the information to escape their custody. They will have protected the info withe the same diligence they show their own data. ;-)
