Very well put Tigy. How about every ISP giving out multiple IP's for every connection (And the laws being changed that your information does not have to be on nominet data base) then you can assign an individual IP to every computer in your house that uses the internet.

Quote from: Dom

I don't think that would work unless you had a separate internet connection (i.e. phone line) for every person in the house. I may be wrong though, especially if it's possible to assign multiple IP addresses to a single internet-connected device. I wasn't aware that it was possible though.

Theoretical question: The users who've had these letters from ACS Law, and pay up.  Does the ISP then drop them, since they've admitted breaching the terms of service, regarding copyrighted stuff?

technology wise its perfectly possible, although many consumer class routers would get very confused.

Quote from: fourfourdevon

However, yet again, this is infact exactly what IPv6 does, the normal allocation to one consumer router on IPv6 addresses is 18,446,744,073,709,551,616 (18 quintillion) unique IPs, which should be enough for every computing device in your home I would have thought.

Quote from: Barry

yup, it's approximately 18 quintillion, give or take a few allocated to the ROUTER, which can suballocate them into it's address space. Of course, when IPV4 was devised, it was pretty difficult to imagine we would exhaust the address space. B.

I've asked the question re attendance to the next hearing, and I will chase this.

So when will I receive an answer to my support question? I thought PN were *working closely with those directly involved to sort out the situation and avoid further damage*? Seems as though they spend more time on these forums.

Seems as though they spend more time on these forums. We (the Digital Care Team) are answering the tickets specific to this issue and the forum threads relating to it (I'm fairly sure you know that as you've posted our responses here).  Therefore if one is particularly busy the other will not get attention for a while (I'm sure this is preferable to having people who are not aware of the issues answering questions). If you raise a standard ticket it may take a little while to get to us, as it will need to be passed from a standard ticket pool.
