Online Journalists are ISPs?, "Long-time C|Net reporter and Politech operator Declan McCullagh has been contacted by the FBI, according to his most recent article. The FBI requests that he retain all records regarding his talks with Adrian Lamo. The problem? The FBI's letter was sent under the auspices of a law which applies only to internet service providers. Says Declan, 'Perhaps I'd be immune from the FBI's demands if I used an Underwood No. 5 typewriter instead.' Does writing online now qualify one as an ISP?" i have been saying this for years!!!
