From the link:
1. 16/03/2011 - A white paper recently published by the White House's Office of the U.S. Intellectual Property Enforcement Coordinator urged Congress to make "illegal streaming" of content a felony and allow law enforcement to wiretap those suspected of being involved in copyright infringement.
2. 15/03/2011 - Telecommunications giant AT&T said this week that it will join Comcast and other providers in a controversial business model that limits the amount of information subscribers can access (to only 150 gigabytes a month), and imposes penalties for overages.
3. 10/03/2011 - A NY man faces five years in jail for linking to online videos. In a case against a New York website owner, the Department of Homeland Security is claiming that merely linking to copyrighted material is a crime.
...the first one doesn't surprise me much, but overall this had me raising my eyebrows, specially the second one. WTF???
PS. If you can, try your hand at giving some of the others a bit of feedback. If you already have, thanks, can you do some more?
