What about files being transferred by your computer? Where do you draw the line, and why do you draw it there?
And there is plenty to fear from being spied upon. What about people who do morally questionable things that are perfectly legal? What about people whose public persona would be harmed should their personal beliefs or actions be made known to the public? What about those whose career would be in jeopardy? Now obviously, this would be a highly unlikely result of this particular law, but as I asked, where do you draw the line?
This law would give a non-governmental entity the right to spy on your activities. Even if the "High Authority" works completely fairly and justly (which I haven't seen any evidence supporting), there is no guarantee that the third party company acting in its own interest to make profit off of the recording/movie/whatever industries that hire it will act fairly and justly. They are not directly concerned with protecting society, or even copyright. They are only directly concerned with making a profit. They will be taking on the role of the police.
