That does not mean we want every ISP to copy their behaviour. > Comcast ATTBI Yes, those are the ones that were caught red-handed playing games with their customers P2P traffic and are under federal investigation. Good example indeed. We have enough reason to suspect (big understatement) that our ISP's are very keen on doing what these "big boys" are doing. Thanks, but no thanks. I'll second Oleg -- ISP's are not and should not be allowed messing with their customers traffic! Regarding spam. AFAIR, in the standard contract with ISP's the customer already agree not to use the account for any illegal purpose, blah, blah,... If/when spam is formally illegal (I think the severe cases are already covered by current law in Israel, but not sure) there would not be a problem applying this in various ways: closing the account, taking legal actions (e.g: compensation for the collateral damage caused by the spammer etc.) Let's not try to use a cure that is worse than the disease. -- Oron Peled Voice/Fax: +972-4-8228492 [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.actcom.co.il/~oron "UNIX was not designed to stop you from doing stupid things, because that would also stop you from doing clever things." --Doug Gwyn ================================================================To unsubscribe, send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the word "unsubscribe" in the message body, e.g., run the command echo unsubscribe | mail [EMAIL PROTECTED]
