[edit] IP Addresses

Do we want the IP addresses here?

Firstly, can the addresses be verified. No source is given for the addresses at the moment. If we can't find such a source, or otherwise verify the addresses, then we should remove them, IMO.

Then there's the issue above whether it is NPOV to include them. The fact that few other organisations have their IP addresses lists, and the sentence before the address which seems to give subtle encouragement to block or log BayTSP IPs. A more NPOV approach, I feel, would be note that some people do block or log their IPs, if this is the case, with links to relevant websites.

It also seems that IP addresses are liable to change without notice, and would probably require some work to keep the IPs updated, unless there is a website we can get the info from, in which case I think a link to the website would be better, as that would presumably document that some people are blocking or logging the IPs.

A good idea with the site and all. I do think they should at least remain until a viable option is available. I, like many of my internet friends, am anti-anti-piracy. Not exactly pro-piracy, I do buy software, but I think these people just cause problems. I don't believe for one moment that companies lose more than a few thousand in lost revenues from piracy. $50,000 USD tops. Down with the Crapfest!

EDIT: I looked up a few of the IPs in an IP address locator, they were all in Iowa. Maybe someone placed them their against a company based in Iowa that they want personal revenge on?
