So where's this thread where Kao exposed the minor's IP?


Not that I care, I'm just fishing for minor's IP's.

I know, but it looked like you could have gone in that direction if you wanted to so I thought I'd warn you of the consequences just in case.

Like Dracoid? No, Joph just asked me to back up my arguement and I did. Unfortunatly, from what I can see the law doesn't seem to differentiate between an adult that acted innapropriately because they lost their temper with a minor and that sicko that comes to mind when you hear the word "Child Exploitation"

Dracoid did what he did for the sole purpose of getting himself banned.


But I'm serious about dropping this issue. It's getting old and annoying. What's done is done and complaining about it isn't going to change anything.

Everyone needs to just calm down about Kao.

No, the section you quoted was from some random 'internet safety' site not affiliated with the government in any way. The site you actually linked to was a list of contact information but no specifics involving the actual law.

In fact, in Chapter 15, Title 91, § 6501 of the Child Internet Protection Act it identifies "personal contact information" as...
IP addresses are not individually identifiable information. They only identify a particular internet connection that was used at the time. They don't even identify an individual computer by definition -- my own connection is a dial-up and uses a dynamicly produced IP every time I dial in.

You could make a weak argument that IP addresses could be included in (F) but that's only because (F) includes anything and everything that the Commission decides it includes. Obviously, however, they didn't think IP addresses ranked highly enough as "personal contact information" to include it into their list.

Erm... (G) requires that something else from the above paragraph apply. Unless you accept that IP addresses fall under (F), there's no case for (G). Even if you accept (F) -- and I don't since IP addresses don't fall in the same league as phone numbers and physical addresses -- there's still no additional information given to make (G) a case.

You morans forget that the owner of this site is a lawyer. Had there been wrong doing, we would have known by now. Kaolian would be gone. Some people will post anything for attention.

For future reference, if you want attention just post something about selling an account or gold. That usually garners attention.

I'm well aware that Alla is a lawyer. But I don't know what type (I wouldn't expect a real estate lawyer to know the answer off the cuff) and, more importantly, since Niobia keeps saying this is Gospel I wanted to see her actually cough up the actual law. And, no, quips from some random website don't count as the law.

At the very best, we can make half-assed guesses whether or not an IP address would qualify for (F) but, until the Committee judges upon it and sets precedent, it'd be best if Niobia either posted a law or else stopped talking out of her *** an accusing people of breaking the law when no such thing actually occurred.

As someone on another forum explained:
I have never heard of something like that being illegal and I don't really know why it would be. An IP address usually can't be definitely tied back even to a specific computer let alone a person. Many personal ISP Ip addresses are dynamic and get reassigned to different people all the time. The best you can usually do is tie the IP address to a geographic area.

Pretty much what I said but, hey, another voice of agreement is always nice.

Whoosh. God you are thick.

Unless your argument is that the kid sleeps in a filing cabinet drawer at the Sprint DSL switching office, no they didn't. That was the only address given. Hell, someone else even posted that the IP wasn't pingable meaning that it was probably dynamic so (F) wouldn't even apply.

Come on now, you keep saying Kao broke the law. Over and over you've said so. Give me the exact law already that was broken. Or else at least STFU about it.
