Perhaps it will become "Internetpol"?
The Interpol, like many national police agencies, already does attempt to police the Net. While their work against narcotics and money launderers deals primarily with the phone network, _child_ pornography (which is legal in places, but like all porn is illegal if non-consensual, as is usually the case with kidporn), software piracy, and conspiracy/terrorism is hunted for in cyberspace.

Naturally they aren't particularly good at net.policing, and no one can ever really be. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rishab Aiyer Ghosh "In between the breaths is rishab@dxm.ernet.in the space where we live" rishab@arbornet.org - Lawrence Durrell Voice/Fax/Data +91 11 6853410 Voicemail +91 11 3760335 H 34C Saket, New Delhi 110017, INDIA
