All technical aspects aside, I do agree. A law like this is terribly problematic. It opens up for who knows what. It does require a court order for the police to get to the records. But still... It's the same with your mobile cell phone. The telephone companies are recording of your whereabouts (roaming), records of which have been used in trivial cases (not just murder or something equally serious) in dahish courts. It is problematic, also because the department of justice and the majority of politicians don't know anything about what they are doing technically. I bet you could get certain politicians to catch the idea of taking a backup of the internet overnight... -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Med venlig hilsen/Best regards Verner Kjærsgaard -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
