    In what way ?

    Government surveilance is different from the reporting of people downloading music, if that's what you mean.

    On a similar note
    http://www.digitalrights.ie/
    THE GARDA made more requests for phone-call traffic data in 2008 than police in Germany, which has 20 times the population of the Republic.

    According to a leaked draft of a European Commission report, gardaí made more than 14,000 access requests for call data in 2008, a rate about 40 per cent higher than had been previously assumed by data privacy advocates, who had based an estimate of 10,000 on figures provided in the past by gardaí to the Office of the Data Protection Commissioner.

    As predicted, prepay SIM cards have made data retention measures ineffective and have led to Member States – including Ireland – attempting to ban their use:

    prepay 3G means it's possible to avoid this retention , or you could use public wifi (many provided by the state) ,or use poorly secured wifi


    any idea how often the Gardaí have asked for data retention info ?
