Michele and all, Agreed. Lets not forget that the only "Privacy Provider" for individuals privacy is the individual him/herself. No legislation or regulation of whatever sort, should allow criminals to hide, and those that are in violation as we have all recently seem with the errant News spam to this forum is included. Intentional Spam is a crime. Failure to report such is also a crime. -----Original Message-----

I'd support Danny in this quite happily.

The counter-arguments that have been raised all work on the basis that privacy equates with privacy providers. That doesn't have to be the case.

If you register a .ie, co.uk or a .eu you are granted a degree of privacy be default in line with EU legislation.

That does not mean that a criminal can hide.

Michele
