The same law will, by the way, liberalise many aspects of current UK law, and for the first time make it legal to rip your own CDs to a computer, lend them to your friends, make a copy for use in your car, and many other things which are currently illegal in the UK.

I'd say there is a material difference, between endangering lives while behind the wheel, and downloading last night's episode of Lost for your own use.
Illegal? Yes. But certainly not justifying the government, or private companies, peeking into what we do on the Internet.
As to the suggested "liberalization" of already accepted practices, it's like the benevolent government allowing drinking beer in your own home on Sunday....
