Well, I'm carrying a green garbage bag around just in case. Seriously, the part that disturbs me most is that some geek at Rogers will know my internet porn preferences.

Wayne,
It hasn't passed yet. For everything they pass, those who look to get around the law think of a new loophole. I don't see any of us doing a "perp walk" anytime soon.
Cheers,
Joe

Perhaps there has not been enough time to digest this new legislation, but I'm surprised by the lack of concern. From what I gather: Your ISP is now required to keep logs of your downloads and turn these records over to authorities when requested. Any 'ripping' software you might have on your computer must be deleted. If you buy a DVD, you may own one copy of it, but you are not legally entitled to make that copy. If you buy a DVD in Europe, you might as well throw it out as you cannot convert it for North American use. If you use a Time Machine drive, that is your one copy of your iTunes library allowed. Any other backup is illegal.
