In a recently held meeting in Japan the G8 is pushing its member states to monitor ISP & Mobile traffic. They are working on a high level treaty called the Anti Counterfeiting Trade Agreement (ACTA) in their national laws. Among many other measures, ACTA-based legislation will ensure that Internet Service Providers around the world are held liable for the downloading and uploading actions of their customers. This in turn will be forcing the ISPs to disconnect the broadband lines of people who use music and video P2P networks for fear of facing criminal sanctions themselves. Think that's bad? Well think again, it's not only ISPs that will be monitoring their users for copyright infringement, but also cell phone networks. So think twice before you send that video of the latest game you saw to a friend, you end up having to pay a fine for copyright infringement.There won't be single digital thing you can do that someone somewhere won't be monitoring.

Copyright holders must realize that getting companies to attack their own customers is very, very bad business. Well like always, the truly dedicated always find a way to beat any system.
