The "no more" of nonsense and an outrage to privacy is difficult to classify. India, in his crusade against the so-called piracy, will soon launch a program which detects the keyword search of torrents in search engines like Google , which web cameras activated users (have them) and they would take a picture to "unmask." Unprecedented.

The move is apparently being developed by several companies in the country who also claim that the detection of copyright infringement or unlawful searches is implicit in the sending of letters of violators to the FBI.

Dil Raju , the distributor of films in the country, has begun this week with shipments to the FBI by filing a custody complaint to the organization more than three dozen of sites which offer or link are recent productions. Among these 36 domain names such as displayed The Pirate Bay or isoHunt , but other surprises like Google itself or the Dutch ISP Leaseweb . In addition, a notice to the domains that may have fines and penalties of up to seven years in prison for both owners and users who access.

Hard to believe that India could lead to Google or the ISP with fines of this size, but the culmination of this nonsense came when the production increased by software that is coming early next month, a software developed by Shree Technologies to protect copyright:

A software that will help us track each user and take action against them, a very necessary software in the film industry. All that is required is that someone makes a search using key words and we track automatically. If you have a webcam in your system is on, we took a snapshot of the offender's photo

Honestly, this movement has neither head nor tail. I can not imagine a software that is able to take a photo of a private device of a user, hack it, then it can be used as legal action against the individual. There always seems to governments willing to bypass the laws and measures to surprise us with censorship of any size. This, perhaps, not have any reference or comparison.
