Not only did the band King Crimson's contract never allow digital distribution to begin with, but band member Robert Fripp claims that EMI offered their music for sale even after their contract ended entirely. Won't someone please think of the artists?"

Let's make a couple of risky assumptions

1) That as an educated user I only submit sensitive information over an SSL encrypted connection using an SSL certificate signed by a third party.

2) That I check that the certificate corresponds to the site I'm visiting.

This should prevent me from submitting any information to a phishing scam provided that I'm using a browser which correctly implements the SSL/TLS exchange.

So why would a hosting company or a user bother with Web caller ID? A properly configured browser and SSL should prevent phishing attacks. Correct?
