Are you willing to pay an extra $50-100.00 per month or more for the 'privilege' of this enforcement? Are you going to be willing to provide copies of your D.L. and a utility bill to prove your I.D., like the Patriot Act in regards to rent a postal drop box, just to gain internet access? Furthermore, it must be you are willing to concede that access to the internet is a 'privilege' that can be taken away by government for the enforcement of copyright holders, which are private companies and individuals.
