I'm still mulling the Skype response...
Are there other examples beyond Skype? Maybe Linux downloads? Sharing the King James Version of the Bible? Exactly what are those essential, right-to-privacy P2P applications that demand privacy? ________________________________ From: Richard Bennett [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Friday, March 27, 2009 5:04 PM To: Enrico Marocco Cc: DePriest, Greg (NBC Universal); Richard Woundy; Nicholas Weaver; [email protected] Subject: Re: [alto] Is there really a 'war' between ISPs and app providers? Not to be too flip about it, but It's not clear to me that helping people break the law falls in the scope of the requirements for this working group or of the IETF in general.

Skype, in countries where VoIP (or some encryption algorithms, or anything else skype does) is illegal. Of course nobody is suggesting to go break laws in foreign countries, but there is a strong understanding that in this field in particular and in life in general privacy is essential. ________________________________ _______________________________________________ alto mailing list [email protected] https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/alto -- Richard Bennett
