Sills bot system doesn't do anything illegal in activity. It does not 
scan the users computers as can be verified by intrusion detection 
software. Also an IP address is not neccessary to fingerprint a used 
viewer. There is enough information publicly available from SL servers 
alone that allows detection of the viewer being used.
