The security of these types of systems is exactly the issue. Its a privacy issue - how dare they decide to stick tracking devices all over every product that I buy - so they can track me - and then (adding insult to injury) not have any true way to protect this very private information? |

I'd like to suggest that all of that is a bit, but I know I can't. An ebook reading device that can report your copying and file-sharing becomes a security issue... this is why I brought the article up. The potential is already with us, in our computers, smartphones and in some other devices; it is becoming noticeable in office environments, especially where security is an issue, but not so much with personal devices... yet. At about the time we're convincing booksellers to toss DRM systems, they may be preparing to put PIv6 capability onto our readers and other devices, and say to us: "DRM? Sure, we'll toss it... we don't need it any more." Because they'll have a protocol embedded in your device that does all the same things as DRM, and can't be removed. (Hmm... I probably should have saved that last bit for Halloween... ) Or... maybe... this protocol can be rolled out and used in a way that will actually benefit the use and security of digital files, both for the producer and the consumer, better than DRM ever could. Well, at least it may be better (it can't be much worse). We might even be part of the dialog that helps it along, much in the same way early dialogs at MR helped shape aspects of the ebook industry. |

There is a decided lack of information that someone can get from breaking into my house. They are more interested in what they can carry off, not what my life is like. TVs, computers, jewelry (etc) could all disappear. Maybe - if the thief is also enterprising - credit cards & check books, too. They don't care that I like to buy dried yams for my dog or that I shopped from Amazon 22 times last month. It's unlikely that they'll run off with my bank statements or are concerned about my spending habits. Breaking into someone's house also creates a decided risk on the part of the criminal. They are physically in someone else's home and on their property. Not sure where you are but here I would have the right to kill that person. Hacking into a huge database with people's private information has a decided lack of risk. These people are sitting at home with IP jammers and whatever else they use to mask their trail. If they get caught the most they'll ever get is jail time (and it is often unlikely that they get caught). The major issue that falls the ebook world is that how can anyone really say that it is not a major breech of privacy to plug this crap into my ebook reader? I would never buy a completely enabled ebook reader if I were to get constant notices from the device/book seller saying things like, “Now that you’ve completed book 1 of Your Life, Your Lack of Privacy you can buy book 2 at only double the price!” I know that content creators want to protect their privacy but I think even they will balk at being tracked to such a degree. The scariest part of the movie Minority Report – to me – the part where the primary character had to remove his eye balls to change his identity. |

And I am much more concerned with someone breaking into my house than hacking into a database. Information loss can be fixed. False payments can be annulled. Accounts can be changed. Yeah, it sucks, but it's all fixable. Someone breaking into my house can end my life, or the life of my loved ones. To me, the two don't even compare... a house break-in is much, much worse. |

Of course no one wants to be home invaded. But I suggest a .45 Glock, firearm classes, and shooting in tight groups in the chest and head areas. It's not the answer but it's an answer. |

Let's hope by the time Ipv6 rolls around the notion of copyright is finally abandoned and we are in the middle of the new era, where the best art is supported by the public completely, via donations, perhaps made possible by Ipv6 tech. |

I wish I bookmarked it, but I read a good article a few months ago about a possible plan to slowly move in IPV6 and run parallel with IPV4 with the anticipation over time IPV4 devices will slowly be replaced with new gear. Think of the TV stations moving from analog to digital, one day they didn't wake up and turn off analog and turn on digital, they slowly rolled it out (ok issues with ipv4->ipv6 and vice versa with IP traffic, but you get the drift). |

Solicitous, I agree that when it happens, there will be a very long period of running in parallel that minimizes the confusion. |
