Apparently Congress knows it’s important, but — reasonably enough — can’t pass a law protecting it because it doesn’t know what it is. According to the Washington Post, Sen. Bill Nelson of Florida can recognize it when he sees it — and he doesn’t want his online newspaper keeping track of what he’s reading.

The Recording Industry surely thinks so — they use them to make charges against copyright infringers. But there is hardly a one to one correspondence of IP addresses to individuals.

And by the way, IP addresses are going to be less and less identifying, because we are running out of addresses. These are 32 bit numbers, so there are only about 4 billion of them.
