Bit odd though, how would they track down a customer who hasn't paid their bill if they've destroyed all their details?
And it is a shame to see that advanced societies have no better idea than to trash the most basic civil rights in order to prosecute the filesharing of even one song.
Really good stuff though!
I want to switch right now to these guys just to give them a hiiiiiiiigh fiiiiiiive.

AllTele har beslutat att med omgående verkan ansluta sig till Integrity
initiative och därigenom inte spara några kunduppgifter som kan
komma att lämnas ut enligt IPRED.

And a spray paint manufacturer could be sued when someone vandalizes a wall.
And a candle company could be sued if someone leaves a candle burning and starts a fire..
The list goes on and on.
Is there anyone else seeking to make changes in the footsteps of Bahnhof?
