    Could you provide a link to an article or something? I couldn't find it using Google.

    Does anyone else find the first sentence in the OP strange? Making a law against... something that is illegal?

    No, he's talking about the Swedish law (might be international, idk) that will allow film industries to hire private police to arrest people that download.
    The ISP couldn't give out other people's IP numbers. But now they have to I think.

    Google: International Property Rights Enforcement Directive

    The dutch law only applies to programs and not to music, movies, pictures or documents. So i am still not exactly sure what is going to get forbidden and what not

    HAH! ijffdrie is right. You can download whatever you want here, as long as it's not software and you don't upload while downloading. -Which is required for most torrent sites.- They try to get you to stop with that rule, but they never actually arrested anyone for still doing it. And software is also still being downloaded, since every student seems to have the newest photoshop and all that. -and the cs versions cost almost 1000 euros-

    You have all these huge free mail accounts nowadays (gmail for example), right? You just leave files there, mail's a personal thing so you're not sharing anything. It's totally not your fault if someone somehow gets password to this account :rolleyes:

    I'm pretty sure it's legal in Poland at least
