Why shouldnt MS do that and like the care all people who download illegal stuff are no good people who need to be in Jail.

they have no reason not to....

and as its the microsoft and the police that get the info..... thats like the 2 people that own the world!!!!

both can afford any law suits, or change the law so they win!!

in UK police can already track any phone without court permission so y not computers....

yo dude.
cheers for the articles, got a little confused as 1 said it wasnt going to happen, and the other said they'd be in power by the end of the year?

however just because they say they won't doesnt mean there actually not going to....

personally if they do i think they are taking it too far!

they claim its to stop terrorism and paedos... yeh right!

humans survived for billions of years without these laws, y do we need them now?!?!?!?!?!

just my opinion.....
