Heise online reports on a very interesting action Microsoft is taking during the installation of WGA.
When you start WGA setup and get to the license agreement page but decided NOT
to install the highly controversial WGA component and cancel the
installation, the setup program will send your info and the fact that
you choose not to install WGA back to their servers.
In addition to that it seems that the setup program send some
information stored in your registry to http://genuine.microsoft.com/.
While it does not specifically identify the user, it looks like it does
send some identification of your computer and Windows version (see
picture) to Microsoft servers.

U.S. Senators Pressure Canada on Canadian DMCA.
An anonymous reader writes "The U.S. copyright lobby brought out some heavy artillery last week as
it continued to pressure Canada to introduce a Canadian DMCA. U.S.
Ambassador to Canada David Wilkins gave a public
talk in which he described Canadian copyright law as the weakest in
the G7, while Senators Dianne Feinstein and John Cornyn wrote to
Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Harper to urge him to bring in movie piracy
legislation." [Slashdot]
