Data retention logs should be outlawed.

Does anyone even remember what privacy was?

Holy crap, a company looking out to protect it's company instead of selling everything it possible can for a quick buck?! Now if there was only 1 single American company that would do the same... but lets get real America lost it soul in 1913 when the "Federal" Reserve help America hostage and completely took it over.

Couldn't this result in more serious problems? For instance, don't they currently use IP/Account tracking in order to trace people who commit cyber crimes much more serious than pirating? I'm all for protecting privacy, but I don't want to protect the child molesters either.

@cerulean: There are much better and easier ways to bust people like that, is it better to invade the privacy of everyone because somebody MIGHT be doing something like that, or just to setup a sting operation and see who takes the bait, then meet them in person? Besides, how many people have ever pirated a neighbors WiFi to do something like that?

This is the only thing from sweden in the past few days that has made me happy.

Nice.

(I'm part swedish, so this really angers me that my own blood is trying to screw themselves up so bad, internet wise..)

However, this would also be a godsend for Pedophiles and I think that that is too high a price to pay.
