Today I read on slashdot.org very interesting article:
"The Canadian government is secretly negotiating to join the US and the EU in an Anti-Counterfeiting Trade Agreement. The agreement would give border guards the power to search iPods and cellphones for illegal downloads, as well as to force ISPs to hand over customer information without a warrant. David Fewer, staff counsel at the University of Ottawa's Canadian Internet Policy and Public Interest Clinic, characterizes ACTA this way: 'If Hollywood could order intellectual property laws for Christmas what would they look like? This is pretty close.'"
Ok, I agree it makes sense in some angle of view but will it really help? I think the only result will be that several internet services which give you the oportunity to save and store your data easily in crypted format will appear and before people approach the border everyone will erase their data on ipods, folders with movies and music on computers etc. After connection in hotel or somewhere else, they will easily download them back. Of course it will not be as simple as I described but definitely it migt look somehow like this. So if you want to settle new business maybe you should think about settling up this kind of service. In a few years a lot of people might desire to use it.
