Ah! There it is -- the handwriting on the wall for yet another "mandated data retention" argument sees the brighter light of day in a public context. First we were told that Internet usage data retention was to fight terrorism. When that argument didn't fly so well, the current popular line -- fighting child abuse -- became the data retention talking point de rigeur. Now we see the next phase brought even further out in the open -- data retention for DMCA enforcement.
Lauren - I'm surprised. You forgot to mention that they've also tried to
push it "to catch drug dealers/trafficers/smugglers".Remember: there's *Four* Horsemen of the Internet: Terrorism, Child Abuse,
Drugs, and Copyright. ------------------------------------------- Archives: http://v2.listbox.com/member/archive/247/=now RSS Feed: http://v2.listbox.com/member/archive/rss/247/ Powered by Listbox: http://www.listbox.com
