Thanks Ben,
That is really what I was trying to not so gracefully get to.
I agree with this totally. IT gets to be "internet" COP. That is what

You can't prevent people from attaching their iPods to their
machines. Perhaps you can prevent them from using them as they are
intended to be used....
But why do you need to play god?
