Just when you thought it was safe to touch your PC again....

Just a matter of time before we get that here.

Skydivers don't knock on Death's door. They ring the bell and runaway... It really pisses him off.

So you have never even heard of the "Scarfo" case? I mean why would you care unless you are into drug dealing, kiddy porn, murder or other major crimes. Do you really think the cops have the resources or care about your dirty emails to your gf?

I wouldn´t care the slightest if the government reads my personal emails as i have nothing to hide. However there is some companies that would be very interested in spyware that tracks p2p programs.

After all, to install programs obtained via p2p without license is illegal, so it would be very easy for the police to find out who is doing that and take proper actions

I think pretty much everybody at some point or another has used a piece of software without license or heard a song downloaded from the net.

Not me of course

Another step on the slippery slope.
