Complete bullocks. P2P and bittorrent technology has light and dark uses. So do guns, cars and knives. Trying to punish those who use any of the above for "alleged" "suspicions" of illegal activities is a high crime committed by the state.
Trust me, the US has seen its high crimes committed by the state in the last 8 years (that have not yet been punished yet... but when they are you can be assured it will be by DUE PROCESS).
As for the right to privacy, I cannot fathom the fool who thinks only the guilty need worry about their privacy being violated. When we lose the right to privacy we lose everything that ... is... private. Nothing could be more sacred to a sentient being.
And I hope France does not have any King Crimson fans, because the DGM Live web store uses bittorent (LEGALLY) for its transactions.
