The IPRED legislation have given the music industry and movie industry new interest in their fight against illegal file sharing.
Strong lobby groups in Sweden and in Europe want to force all Internet providers to store all traffic data for a couple of months. Yet is not the details clear on how this will be done practically. We can absolutely be sure that this will result in enormous amount of data, that needs to be stored and possible to search.
I foresee a situation where this legislation will result in new business areas for the storage sector, as well for archival practitioners.
Just imaging how much data one person is producing if every action is to be captured. Just imaging the need for new METADATA structures which makes this data possible to find and catalog.
We will see what this legislation ends with but it will more work.
