im certain most of you read slashdot and are thus aware BUT

lien54 wrote with a link to a Wired blog entry noting that May 14th is the official deadline for internet service providers to modify their networks, and meet the FBI and FCC's new regulations. The Communications Assistance for Law Enforcement Act requires that everyone from cable services to Universities give them access, within certain parameters, to the usage habits of customers. "So, if you're a broadband provider (separately, some VOIP companies are covered too) ... Hurry! The deadline has already passed to file an FCC form 445, certifying that you're on schedule, or explaining why you're not. You can also find the 68-page official industry spec for internet surveillance here. It'll cost you $164.00 to download, but then you'll know exactly what format to use when delivering customer packets to federal or local law enforcement, including 'e-mail, instant messaging records, web-browsing information and other information sent or received through a user's broadband connection, including on-line banking activity.'"

Interesting that the document must be paid for before downloading. Think it's made it's way on BitTorrent yet?

When the people watching your connection are the ones that want you to pay for it is it clever to try and download it from bittorrent?

We have this already in the UK. It was introduced much to the outrage of civil liberties groups and those who value their privacy. It's called 'Regulation of Investagatory Powers Act 2000', RIP - RIP our privacy...

Was (an apparently) failed attempt at humor.

Perhaps I should stop that. Seems to be the source of much trouble for me lately.

Nah, I got it. I have sort of a dry sense of humour too sometimes, so I usually add a

if unsure, to make sure I don't offend anyone, which is amazingly simple to do! It's especially hard to tell if two people like that are arguing or making a joking conversation

Wouldn't this be covered by the FOIA?
