>From the article:
My prediction is that courts will find liability against computer owners who
negligently allow their computers to be a launching pad for attacks by
hackers, terrorists and others. It's an area that's ripe for new law and
you should be responsible for acting like a responsible computer owner.
He goes on to say:
I think that courts will begin to find computer owners responsible for their
insecure systems connected to the Net. The legal standard will be
"negligence" and that's the key to this being a reasonable doctrine.

And my suggestion is that this should be mandatory by having the liability
for not doing it apply to the ISP who fails to apply a Best Practice. One
can't enforce Internet protocols by law but one should be able to sue those
who cause damage when they don't follow the protocol.

We're in total agreement then. I just wanted to clarify that the
egress filtering by ISPs has to be at the end-user portions of their
networks, not (necessarily) the exits from their networks at peering
points.
