The question wasn't whether IP addresses could be effectively used to track people (and, in fact, the fact IP addresses can change -- and may not even apply to the person in question for a given task even if they haven't changed -- and are thus poor excuses for ways to track people was already addressed). The question was whether government and corporations are *using* IP addresses more and more in an improper manner akin to the impropriety of using the SSN -- and whether they're using the IP address as heavily for such purposes.
