This is to help law enforcement in catching pedophiles, retrieving stolen consoles, retrieving communications for missing people, etc.  I support it since it means protecting people and possibly even saving lives.

So I guess you support the police placing a mandatory camera (and maybe a mandatory listening device) in every home? I mean, in addition to catching pedophiles, that will be used to prevent even worse things than retrieiving stolen consoles - it will prevent crimes from being perpetrated or at least catch the perpetrators, prevent abusive parents mistreating their children, prevent rapes, prevent or help solve murders, help prevent the planning and execution of terrorist attacks, and the list is long.

Sony has been doing this for over 2 years (see link) and it doesn't look like PS3 owners have been adversely affected so I don't get why it's suddenly a problem now.  Nintendo also will release your online communications to law enforcement if needed.
