  public humliation as punishment

following the example of some virginia deadbeat dad measures or going old school with the pillory, some european countries may allow music companies to publish names of some some convicted file sharers. to add insult to injury, the repeat offender infringers would be required to pay for the ad space outing their own guilt.

in a slightly different vein, a florida teen pled guilty to vehicular manslaughter which he admitted on his blog (via the uk register) during the aftermath of the accident.

unlike some internet companies which appear to get a free pass, individuals are still responsible for activity on the internet.
