| Re: Sweden's Gov is Stupid said by r81984  :All they did with this new law is protect criminals. Now when they need to trace an IP for a real crime, the ISP will say sorry we do not have that info since you forced us to deleted all ip info so we did not have to get involved with the filesharing issues. I suspect Sweden knew exactly what they were doing when they passed this law. It pleases both sides. | |

I don't think the government of any country has a right to monitor 'web surfing' | |

Don't worry. The law coming next requiring ISPs to save data for 6 months will solve that problem. And the ISP CEO making a big noise about destroying IP data says he will comply with the retention law.
quote:
Swedish Law makers are in fact currently working on new legislation based on the European Union's data retention directive, which requires ISPs to store electronic data for a minimum of six months.
If the legislation is enacted, Karlung said Bahnhof would continue to stay within the bounds of the law.
"If the state decides that everything has to be handed over to various private organisations, then we will of course comply

Duh. What did you expect him to say? Right and wrong goes out the window at the point of a gun.

TK Junk Mail, you of all people should be against such regulations and unfunded mandates. | |

Right. Because being able to associate an IP address with an individual has been proven bulletproof in their identification of the real criminals. It's also done wonders to stop child pornography. And 411 scams. And counterfeit drugs. And ponzi schemes. And identity theft. And all of the hundreds of other illegal activities done online.
And just to remove all doubt, yes, that was sarcasm in my post above. | |

| Data retention laws are expensive and could hurt privacy Governments and individuals tend to use and abuse data collected, even when they aren't supposed to. I don't want to have some schmo looking through my ISP records to embarrass me in some message board argument. If I did anything embarrassing, of course 
Someone has to pay for the data retention, and it's either going to be the consumer through higher fees, or the taxpayer who subsidizes it. | |

| piracy and filesharing The filthy rich are so powerful they can now enforce laws to protect their 'properties' on a global scale! They now have power to stop people all over the world from sharing with their friends what was legally bought in the first place! Its like saying "why did you share your mango with all these other people?" Its forcing by law everybody to buy a mango from the stalls and not share with others! It is a new global law saying: " Do not plant a mango seed from the mango you bought from the stall!" Now every time you need a mango you must buy from the first person to claim a patent over a particular type of mango!? The world is going bananas! | |
