We Can Run, but We Can't Hide
How BayTSP is Enforcing the Digital Millennium

By Robert X. Cringely

If you look at Mark Ishikawa's business card, you'll notice that it
lists no street address for his company, BayTSP, just a post office

visitors are not welcome at BayTSP, which has a post office box in
Los Gatos, CA, but could really be anywhere in the Bay Area.

primary enforcer for the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA), a
law that is widely reviled in the technical community.
