Have you read Orwell’s “1984″? The british plan to fight piracy sounds very similar to the total survelliance idea described in his novel
| Leaked UK government plan to create “Pirate Finder General” with power to appoint militias, create laws |
| The Secretary of State would get the power to create new remedies for online infringements (for example, he could create jail terms for file-sharing, or create a “three-strikes” plan that costs entire families their internet access if any member stands accused of infringement) |
| The Secretary of State would get the power to create procedures to “confer rights” for the purposes of protecting rightsholders from online infringement. (for example, record labels and movie studios can be given investigative and enforcement powers that allow them to compel ISPs, libraries, companies and schools to turn over personal information about Internet users, and to order those companies to disconnect users, remove websites, block URLs, etc) |
