The question is will Swedish authorities go for it? Their MEP stopped the “three-strikes” rule written by the French dead in its tracks. Remember the raids that happened? People stormed the streets of cities like Stockholm protesting the US intervention. I doubt that Swedish citizens will be more willing to allow US intervention in their this time around either.

How about if the companies who own intellectual property actually bother to utilize the potential of the internet for themselves as well as consumers. There is so much potential out there they should use it instead of trying to restrict everything. Half these “pirate” communities wouldnt exist if the industries actually gave consumers what they want… They should provide innovative solutions not impose and restrict laws and technology

I read through the leaked document and it looks like some of the provisions are partially aimed at Canada. You can read how they are demanding that ISPs hand over customer information upon notice of a claim of copyright infringement. Imagine a world where you can win lawsuits based solely on an accusation. The world of innovation would cease to exist!

I for one would hit the streets here in the ‘Peg if that actually came to pass I’m sorry but if I can accuse someone of stealing my idea of a can with a feather in it and see all their private data that’s just plain wrong privacy exists for a reason and not so that the moguls of the entertainment industry can trample them when they see fit after making use of them for their own dealings.

Implement the proposal and the world economy will probably collapse more than it already has.
