So it would be ok if someone followed you around recording every single step of your day, since you are in public places? Waiting for you to come out of house, office, to start recording again, logging when did you enter and left, etc etc etc?
This is just like our own Magalhaes project... and for what I read from the people above on this thread, it will be an equal fiasco, that is, if the objective is really to better kids education.
On the other hand, maibe there, as here, the objective was quite diferent: making stupid PR in Iberoamerican summit, making PR about technology enhancements, PR, PR... the end result? Most kids are still not able to get the damned little computer, not even paying, although there are several of them already found in pawn shops and similar... oh man so much to write, so little time and patience... Obviously the comps serve mostly for playing, there was no class integration whatsoever, etc etc etc... Alas, imagine all the bad things that can happen in such ill-conceived plan... that's the way things are happening. I won't even bother to tell the completely tortuous way the project started, with lies about being a portuguese computer (it's an Intel Classmate with a custom sticker on the lid!!!!), about the total favouring of ONE company with public funds, no other company allowed to compete for the project... a shame.
ps: sorry for the errors, english obviously's not my language:)

And because it happens to celebrities, it's automatically ok? Would you enjoy a society like that?

Pirate Bay being biased is completely irrelevant. IFPI is also biased. That's the very definition of sides in a trial.
They are not judging anything. Now, the Judge being biased ... If you fail to see such a simple thing, I don't think your other ideas deserve credit.
