That's beside the point. Resolving parcel numbers to owners is also problematic, likewise resolving license plate numbers to owners (used to be possible in Switzerland), but we're talking resolving IP addresses to owners. I wonder how many porn sites could blackmail viewers, or Honeypot mpaa operatos could sue torrent users more easily...
- loeg 8y agoIt sounds like you think we disagree, but we don't disagree. Parcel lookup is just an interesting public information database many people are unaware of — so I felt it was worth sharing.
- lawl 8y ago> likewise resolving license plate numbers to owners (used to be possible in Switzerland) Still is, depending on the canton. For Zürich you get 5 lookups per day per IP[0]. For other cantons they might charge you a swiss franc or so [1]. Cantons that charge 10-20 CHF and require a reasoning for why you need this data are in the minority.
