the point is not what you are doing on the internet.. that's beside the point. I don't care if all I do on the internet is pay taxes and surf aximsite, I don't want my ISP to know that. they have no business knowing what I'm doing on the internet, that's pure invasion of privacy IMO.

HOWEVER, ISP's will, increasingly now, be snooping everyone. and it's not just the ISP's. vista will be doing the same thing and sending info back to MS, and many programs already do this (when you play WoW, everything that's currently in your ram is sent back to them). it's the sad truth. as we get more and more digital the easier it becomes for companies and/or the government to snoop on our activities and know what we're doing with our computers. eventually it'll be one giant police state...
