I have no illusions about the big music and film industries _already_ 
having detailed data on all of us (IP Data, which torrent etc) who have 
ever used certain websites, just waiting to pounce. At first, this 3 
strike then you're out poo will run with a handful of infringer's being 
targeted, but come the revised version, it will be a money pit of 
mandatory spot fines that are difficult to contest.

You mark my words ;)

For example.
The Pirate Bay servers were stolen by the police and you can bet they 
mirrored all the data on them. Same for any other seized or investigated 
servers (I know Demonoid is under similar attack)
It doesn't take an IQ of much higher than 40 to realise that if all our 
data held by government can leak several times a year, then so can this 
'evidence' be leaked very easily. Probably for a nice sum for someone.

Not paranoid.
Realistic ;)
