Forum thread:
The UK has now made Investigatory Powers Bill/ The Snooper's Bill Law
The TL:DR version of the bill: Requires ISPs to collect data on all of United Kingdoms citizens online activity and store it for a year. Bulk collection. Yeah that's super effective right?/s
The long version. First let's read the legal document in question. Link: https://www.publications.parliament.uk/pa/bills/lbill/2016-2017/0040/17040.pdf I would put the text of the bill in this thread but it's 268 pages long. I almost did though.
I've read over all of it.
First thing: I'm a citizen of the United States of America. Certified as a Paralegal for the United States legal system. I'm in no way a legal expert of UK legal system. A lawyer from there would be able to give you a better legal perspective than me.
Opinion: My gosh. Welcome to 1984 UK. Really that's how bad this law is. The ISPS are recording everything and storing it for a year. That means all your transactions, videos you watch, how you surf the web, it's all collected. The entire time I was reading the bill, I keeping thinking this is awful. I'm so sorry for every citizen of the United Kingdom.
Why is the important: People's privacy on the internet in the UK is gone. Think about that for a moment.
What are your guys thought about this bill? How do you feel about it? To the UK members on our forum what are your thoughts on the bill?

The Four Safe Harbors
In the DMCA, Congress provided a series of safe harbors for network service providers. The term âsafe harborâ is a nautical metaphor, indicating a place where a ship will be safe from stormy weather. But as in the case of a ship, being outside a safe harbor does not mean that you are in danger. It just means that your safety is not assured. Each DMCA safe harbor substantially limits the liability for copyright infringement. Each is separate, and if you fall within any one, your liability is limited. And even if you donât meet the requirements of one of the safe harbors, that is not an indication that you are infringing a copyright. Other defenses, such as fair use, still remain available.
The four safe harbors provided by Congress, in the following subsections of Section 512, {FN72: 17 U.S.C. §512} areâŚ
