Time to do EXPROPRIATION of IP addresses from American companies who grabbed tons of them before the limits were instated. Or at least make them pay for IP addresses, so that they return the unused ones.

I am talking about whole /8’s granted to companies.

Jon, read previously, that IPv6 removes the need for NAT & increases “security”. Apparently, this can include content security, as well as hackers and of course Big Media have had their snouts in the trough for some time now to make this go their way.

Without NAT, every address *will* point to an individual computer and those addresses are likely to remain static, too. Obviously, this doesn’t look too good for those on the end of the RIAA’s extortion campaign.

Might be one worth researching.
