  1. Wow – RRN’s required just to post a comment.

    I wonder if this will cause an exodus of servers from Korea to international hosting providers where this law wont/cant be applied to in a similar situation to that of the USA music copyright laws currently being implemented next month.

    When is the law going to realise that ‘bandaids’ dont work and that the internet is truly global

  2. Hey anonymous….rtfa snapperhead.

    They aren’t talking about verifying against a fake email address they are asking you to enter (and I guess confirm against your name/home address/ or some other personal non displayed information in a web app gov database) so basically every web forum you post against you will need to provide your RRN (similar to the united states SSN), hmm wonder how many web forums are going to suffer hack attacks to steal personal information.

  3. Pay-per-service use credit cards, which is a form of verification.*shrugs* So there are less issues with communities such as Blizzard’s world of warcraft, for example, and more with Second Life which allows free accounts. As usual, it will inconvenience naughty members (who find easily find scripts to get around verification) not at all, and piss off privacy advocates mightily.
