Wow, most stores around here deal with this by banning photography inside their stores and confiscate cameras and delete the photos if your caught taking pictures of their prices. They then ban you from shopping there.
"A social worker from New York City was arrested last week while in Pittsburgh for the G-20 protests, then subjected to an FBI raid this week at home -- all for using Twitter. Elliot Madison faces charges of hindering apprehension or prosecution, criminal use of a communication facility and possession of instruments of crime. He was posting to a Twitter feed (or tweeting, as it is called) publicly available information about police activities around the G-20 protests, including information about where police had issued orders to disperse. "
This also smacks of media companies wishes that the internet in its current form disappear so it can be better outfitted as a passive broadcast medium closer resembling cable TV.
There's no cyberwar there's just the RIAA and the MPAA trying to prop back up their old business model.

Oops
If this was intentional or a quick experiment by an employee it's a huge legal blunder in relation to this drama
We do this in the US already
Remember this:

Is this in response to this case?
I just read about this today. They've actually charged two teenagers with this law. Ages 12 and 13.
