Argh!

The more I read about this the less I think its about Piracy and the more its about control. Luckily I know my ISP (a major US one) is relying on the "... but you dont have to..." clauses but I wonder how long it will be before they become compulsory - a small amendment down the line slipped in as a one line rider to a budget bill will unfortunately be all that is needed to do that.

Also of note that it allows information sharing between companies not just company and government - which means all those EULA/Privacy agreements you just clicked through without reading would go out the window.

@AC 03:33am GMT - this bill is nothing to do with piracy - its all to do with the umbrella of "National Security" - nothing more apparently - which is the be all and end all to doing whatever they want with the data.
