Good God... everyone can be a crook now. There goes the do not call list, there goes our privacy... I don't think even the police should be able to use it, it sounds like a violation of my rights as a human considering that hackers can do it... how long before the hackers sell the technology to the "other side of the fence" and here we go again, ripped off for our privacy.

I'm sick of people that spam, that hack, that create viruses and everything else that is going on.

Sounds to me like "there ought to be a law".

"Every action has an equal and opposite reaction", says Newton's 3rd Law.
Anyhthing that is developed for the good of mankind will continue to be used for the damage as well.
We can take up any applications, technology to look up. Internet, was meant to facilite better communiations, but we have a bunch of hackers who misuse it. We have spammers.

Satellite phones have known to be used by the world's deadliest terrorist, Osama Bin Laden.

Planes have been used to create terror, by the same terrorist, though they were required to better the travel around the world.

And now we have something, that can hide your identity while you make a call, contrary to the caller id which was developed to identify the caller.

This particular application is developed to facilitate the collection agencies from those who default on payments.

But since humans have more brains, we never let go a chance to misuse something which might have come up to help some one.

But we atleast can have some kind of lesgislation that can limit the (mis)use of this new application.
Lets pray that the Law has ears to hear and eyes to see the misconduct.

Our world has now moved into a new realm since the evolution of the technological age. Ketan, your suggestions are so true. Every opportunity that exist can be used either for good or bad. Then we create laws to control those opportunities. The cycle keeps going on and on. What will we think of next. It is the heart of man that needs to be changed. When we start taking responsibility for our actions. It isn't an easy task either way and we have to be each others conscience.

I visited the Star38 site and a reasonable justification was given, however you and I know that that is just a justification and not a solution.

We prosecute identity theft, but we not only wink, but encourage identity deception. It is a mixed message that can't be justified and a slope that we are greasing with our own passivity toward such actions.

I think it is absolutely rediculous. I'm always amazed at how hard we must work to maintain our privacy. Seems like we take one step forward and two steps back. I hate to invite the govornment to swoop in and regulate this. They would probably only make the problem worse.

I feel all the same! If spamming through fake mail-ids was not enough then let us all do it by giving them this facility.

I don't find any good that this facility would actually do except for some kids to play pranks. The more I think about it more I get disgusted!!! Any criminal will easily use it!!! Hollywood movies will get a new plot to build on wherein the villain using this technology shall mask-up in front of the detective hero for long before getting exposed... But I really doubt if in real world if we could ever get across to a person as smart as James Bond, and will he be able to help everyone. And will he be giving up mission against the terrorists and looking after the false callers...oooooooops I don't see that happening anyways.

Lets hope that somebody thinks and gets a law passed against this thing. If it is not done i see hell of a change in societal behaviors!!!

" I AM WHOEVER I SAY IAM""
The first thing that strikes me as weird is why the HELL would anybody go to lengths to invent something like this??? as if we(read: anti terrorist outfits) din't have enough trouble trying to zero in on to the trouble makers......
Trying to hide behind a mask not only increases the chances of misuse by people of all kinds, but also poses a serious threat to the personal security of any entity. what does the law say on this???
Pranks are one thing, what about national security???
with what end purpose did star 38 create this stuff is beyond me. it is a novel idea and patentable,but does it have any commercial utility. i dont think so.
Mr. Star 38, i think its time to rethink ur product line.
