I don't really see this taking off are these ISP's going to back this because of pressure & lose millions of dollars in business? I don't think they will & will shoot it down again.They should look for a happy medium & not over kill the issue they are facing.

Mecha sugoi ne? :-P
This is really scary for P2P users in Japan. I really hope that never happens here in Australia.
Note: I am being ultra picky here but... Quote: "A report by the Yomiuri Shimbun newspaper"... Shimbun & Newspaper mean the same thing. :-P Hehe.

Ha Ha Ha Ha i find this funny.
Ok even if they are able to keep track of the individuals they will just use a ip address gender bender and change there ip address to a untraceable address.
This most likely would deal in riots as well. Because i have had exchange students from japan and the thing you need to understand is the main reason why people pirate in japan is because software is more expensive there then here in the u.s.a and video games that cost us 60.00 here in the u.s.a go for 80.00 to 90.00 in japan quite a price difference.
So i would like to see them try to stop piracy it won't happen unless japan shuts down bittorrent.

When ISPs start policing and monitoring what you can and cannot use the internet for then it's cause for alarm.

Would using a proxy help keep a user's IP annonymous from an ISP if they were to download via blogs and file hosting websites?

No, its like saying if you buy a gun and shoot someone, we'll warn you a few times. Once you've shot a total of 4 people, we'll ban you from buying guns.
If it passes, this will work. Its not only one ISP, but its a ruling on ALL ISPs in Japan. I don't those hyper nerds will be like, "fine, I'll just cancel my internet and finally step outside." LOL, yeah right. Once they go a week without a MMO they'll be back on the net.

a pirate client is mostly used for steeling.....but is technically for file sharing non-copy righted files, or files that you have already legally purchased and have a copy of...and you know the rest
a gun is technically supposed to be used to protect.....but is mostly used for killing....illegally........i dont have the word to express the rest...
that was the connection i was and am still trying to make
this will rise cyber crime to break the system+ create entirely new pirate rings+ increase the shipping of pirated materials into the country+ increase inside jobs from the ISP which were and still are to common.....this world...is rotting!!!.....
(i'll give anyone a magic candy bar...if they can guess where that quote in bold came from!)

Someone's gonna figure out how to hide the file's identity from the snoopies. Where there's a will there's a way.

This can be so easily circumvented by changing your IP..
But nevertheless, this is a sad development for Japan, the world's fastest Internet Connections have just been rendered MOOT.
