Is there any precedence to this? Has anyone said, "Hey, I want to have another copy of [INSERT FAVORITE GAME NAME HERE] and I can't do it, give me money!" and won?
This brings up an important point of how is this data stored? The government would need a warrant to see this data, but how would the data both be recorded by and kept secure FROM the ISP?
So, is this going to make it illegal to go certain websites? What good is this going to do? I would think that other web use like email or file transfers would be more useful.

They would not store all the information passing, just the urls of where it came from...
