Thanks for the info. Maybe some merry band of pranksters
would be willing to sneak into this guy's house and install
an obvious-looking mock camera over his shower head? I mean,
just in case he's a child molester and all.
Maybe once we're done legislating the internet, we can
legislate the topolology of Euclidean space, so that every
point is within earshot of a mike and eyeshot of a camera.
After all, those evil child molesting evil bad evil people
might take to doing evil stuff in their basement, or the
nearby woods!
