-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 hm, i didn't thought he did collect IP addresses, but even if the system does catch IP addresses (which isn't such a big deal if you keep your machine safe) an IP address wouldn't be of any help identifying malicious clients, unless the malicious clients in question routed stuff thru a known proxy.
Btw, gathering IPs has nothing to do with Quicktime, or at least it isn't restricted to Quicktime, any sort of data hosted on a server with some sort of monitorament(sp?) in the server will do. LL knows how the system work, and in the past they were quite fast to pull the plug on Quicktime when there was a security hole related to it.
