Default Can someone from Limewire comment? re anonymity etc

I saw the following under the wishlist from the CEO:

"http://www.limewire.org/project/www/wishlist.html

* User Identity through dynamic dns or similar technique
* Network monitoring and patrol tools to route out offenders"


What exactly is meant by "User identify" and routing out offenders? It strikes me that this may targetted at those sharing kiddie-porn but equally it could enable filtering on content - exactly the route that the RIAA are using to try and nail fastrack. Potentially such a project could be very dangerous to Limewire and infringe users rights to anonymity and the viability of Limewire. No doubt the RIAA would like a content controlled licensed copy protection mechanism installed.
