What if, instead of filtering out copyrighted material, they used an IPS to filter out exploits instead? Are the civil liberties issues the same when the same sort of filtering is done but in a way that helps, rather than hurts, the user whose traffic is subject to the filtering?
I have been wondering for years why a company doesn't start a service to filter known attacks for their customers. Why is it that I still receive SQL Slammer attacks on my home firewall? Why are these attacks allowed across the NNI's of Major ISPs?
