    Notwithstanding the outcome of this either way: there hasn't been any true privacy for a long time now. IF the user assumes THEIR own responsibility for learning how to achieve it, privacy is very possible. The obvious underlying issue is that the level of counter measures needing to be employed, are directly proportional to how badly the adversary wants to invade your space. Someone sitting in their house watching a "hot" movie and wanting to avoid a DMCA notice needs minimal cloaking constructs. The other end of the spectrum needs much more, with something starting at about 5 hops all well constructed and thought through.

    Privacy is no longer handed out as a rite of passage for being on the net. YOU determine if there will be privacy for what you are doing online and who you actually are when you are doing it!

    Exact, true privacy was lost when agencies (public or governmental) start using computers & networks. To achieve a semblance of privacy is to use data encryption whenever you can.
