Well...

I figure since it is brought up, and you (Raccoon) have given him an answer s/he will most likely be pleased with, maybe mirc should log ips..

No. mIRC is not a content provider, just a program.


Though that may in some ways be true, if you offer any way to send a file, aren't you infact considered a "content provider"?. I mean I use the term loosly, but imo any place where you yourself hand out files, you are a content provider.

Though mirc will probably not have ip logging, it might be an idea to. IRC is afterall a large part of the filesharing community. Though Khaled explained he has nothing to do with what a user decides to use the DCC for, the evidence that people use it for such things are there. One could argue that the Gnutella network is for only sharing information that a user themself owns and has the rights too. Though users use it for other manners, the ability is there. Mirc is just the same, and as long as its being used as a client for breaking laws, it should concur with the new laws.
