[pp.int.general] pp.international.general Digest, Vol 12, Issue 25

Thu Feb 21 16:00:21 CET 2008

Can't vouch for the authenticity of the video.
But judging by the specifications of te special cybercrime training program 
for Disticts Attorneys, they can use all the help from the RIAA they can 
get.
Read it and weep.

(how to put people in jail without knowing wat you're talking about)

....in my opinion the video is so frightening that it can't be real.

> Now for the bad news.
> Ministry of culture Chistine Albanel, one of President Sarkozy's

> the ISP be forced to keep every connection logs, IP addresses etc;
> they will also have to store *everything* that can help the police to

> - pseudonyms you use
> - your *real* address, date of birth, etc
> - technical data: which software you used, etc
> - *all* your passwords
> - list goes on; you name it.

> This is simply incredible. What's more incredible is that in this
