Sask. man fights for Internet privacy after child porn conviction

This article kind of relates back to the privacy unit. Basically this guy was caught sharing child pornography on Limewire and claims that this activity should have been private and he therefore shouldn't have been convicted, even though he was openly sharing the files with other users. This case could also set a legal precedent for government associated ISPs to be able to give out people's contact information to law-enforcement agencies, a precedent that could potentially have implications far beyond child pornography convictions; for example, people illegally sharing files through Limewire and other similar programs might be affected.
