Then there would be a war on piracy. How would you like it if they kept 20 years of your downloading habits? Do you think that in 20 years time they could find something to incriminate you?

And that's why it's so wrong to keep data for so long, and actually be able to use it.

I'm sure the statue of limitations would apply to many of these crimes, so you can't be convicted of downloading Game of Thrones in 20 years.

I think that's going to be right around the corner.
