My reflex is to say that perhaps anonymity is less the issue than the right to privacy. I guess what has pushed this thing into the light is the tremendous pressure by various industry groups whose products are being compromised by electronic theft. Add to that concerns about terrorism and the porno trade that has flourished, seemingly without moral concience.
Seems to me we've got an evolutionary problem here. The corpsorate lobbies in DC are strong, well financed and "connected". How does the private user find a voice and lobby forum other than letters to his congressman?
