Except they won't be storing all the data you're sending out and getting in. Just who it's going to, who sent it, when and where. Not that I condone that, but your calculations are off in that respect.
According to the directive, access to the logs is limited to the investigation of serious crimes. The definition of a serious crime if left up to each member state implementing the directive. So if some country decides copyright infringment is a serious crime, the entertainment industry will get access to the logs in that country.
No, the way I've understood it this only applies to registered telecommunication companies(ie. internet service providers, telephone companies and such). So you should be safe from any obligations to keep such logs.
Now, the place hosting your servers/providing the net connection might be a different story..
At least in Finland the government is going to be paying for it. Though I believe it varies by member state, so in some countries the costs would actually fall on the ISPs and other such operators.
The FastTrack network(Kazaas network) is very much alive. In fact, it's the third largest or so. There are of course other clients you can use to access the network, so it's possible no one is actually using the official Kazaa client, but I doubt that's the case:)
Network: Number of concurrent users at any given time.
No bittorrent because there's just no way to measure how many people use it. The numbers aren't really official and are taken from http://www.slyck.com/stats.php
Sites like suprnova and lokitorrents had large amounts of users and tens of thousands of torrents to keep track of. The log files must have grown at a very fast pace, so I doubt they kept more than a few days worth of logs..if any. Lokitorrents probably kept a very close eye on how much you uploaded/downloaded, but I doubt they kept track of what you downloaded(beyond the few days a log file could have been kept).
Um..I don't believe Googles search interface has changed or increased in complexity since it was first introduced. I don't see how the interfaces of Googles other ventures would affect their search service.

Actually, less and less units are shipped every year by the RIAA labels..but no, that can't be the reason why they sell less CDs.

While in the end, the payer will always be the people of the country, there is a difference in how the impact is seen.
The government pays, I doubt taxes will rise because of this. Thus the consumer doesn't really notice any increase in costs.
The ISP pays, you can bet your ass the monthly costs will rise.
In any case, it's money wasted.

..did they also fix that little issue where the DRM installs itself even if the user doesn't accept the EULA?

Just out of curiosity..how do you count a months supply of ammo? x persons shot per day?

Starting 1.10.2005(or 2005-10-01..which ever way you mark your dates) the entire thing should be available for download from their site.
I liked how some of the parts didn't open like they were supposed to on the video. Some development still to be made.
Cisco is valued at 123 billion dollars(99,8 in euros). Nokia is valued at 71 billion dollars(57 in euros).

Since when has the US cared about jurisdiction? Bomb them all! No matter where they are!
So you can play a racing game and get some muscle exercise for your arms? Sounds good to me.
I wasn't even AWARE BitTorrent was being used for illegal stuff
