How's that again? Don't worry, when employers will start demanding mandatory monthly home-searches and diaries of daily errands also outside working hours, it will be a good incentive to comply. Also, you can arrange for civil forfeiture of all computer equipment and give ten percent of the profits for anyone acting as an informer - that should up the loot. Add to that federal agents soliciting for copied software (like child pornography) and you'll catch many of the damn communist criminals. But if that doesn't work, a mandatory government tap usable from a remote location will be made mandatory to build into every piece of computer equipment. //Jyrki
