Loss of Privacy, To Curb Piracy.

I don't know about you, but this story does not give me the warm fuzzies. Imagine your ISP spying or monitoring not the volume or normal usage patterns, but the content of your internet activities as well. Yeah, it would serve as a deterrent to some kid, but seriously, since when did we have to give up our very privacy just to protect some big industry cat's fat check (I'm looking at you RIA).
