Already did. It's got e.g. Marx but not Durkheim (probably because the
latter needs to be translated, and those translations are more
modern).

I can check with a friend who has a giganews account to see if they have this.

This was something I made sure to ask my ISP about before signing up,
since I consider Comcast's stance on such things to be blatantly
anti-customer. No problems so far.

Also, I provably run a full access Tor node and have a wireless router
that my neighbors might be using... so a mere IP isn't really that
much evidence.
