Until the law is actually PROPOSED this is nothing but fear mongering. The
news is notably dense about technology (and everything else really) and while
I'm sure something is about to be purposed; likely it's directed at companies

then companies that provide users with the ability to encrypt their own data.
A distinction most certainly lost on the mass media.

known, filesharing is a legitimate technology, and there are legitimate privacy
and censorship issues. Besides, we have already discussed this on IRC. And of
course, IANAL!
