I'll be moving to IPv6 TONIGHT!

This is ha-ha-only-serious; porn has been a great motivator for pushing technology forward. Porn is the reason VHS won out over Betamax; porn's the reason the internet has gotten into the hands of the hoi-polloi (although AOL does get it's own mention for it's part in The September That Never Ended). It's one of the reasons why I don't worry about DRM -- if anyone were going to make DRM work, it'd be porn producers, who are really motivated to get people to pay for their product. The RIAA/MPAA's losses are really peanuts compared to how hard the pre-internet and post-internet porn money books differ. Consider that a porn VHS could easily go from anywhere between 20$ for a POS title to 60$ for something popular.

Note also that there's a project that gives away porn only if you connect to it via IPv6. IPv6 is coming in it's own good time (no pun intended).

The "no central authority to fix things" argument w/r/t/ the internet is BS at best, and likely just a ploy to get some kind of control over the net. It's meant to be an amorphous self-healing entity. The DNS bug from a few months ago is a good example; this affected everyone, and it got fixed. I don't remember getting a call from The Internet Boss telling me to fix it; I saw the bug report and decided I should fix my part of it.

http://www.ipv6porn.com/ seems on topic.

And how many would figure out IPv6 to get some free porn?

Funny you should say that, I immediately thought of this: http://www.ipv6porn.com/
