Anonymity is not privacy (Score 1)

I'm for limiting anonymous use of the Internet. You can deal with privacy concerns by using encryption. Eliminating anonymity would eliminate spam. Spam houses rely on masking their origination. Using encryption will not help them do that, but it WILL allow a non-anonymous user to avoid incriminating himself -- especially with the help of the DMCA, which makes it illegal to crack encryption. Sure the government could still crack encryption, but they could not use that information in court.
