I wonder just how much of this is urban legends and to what extent, aside from hackers and malware/spyware?
For instance, do governments really check out all PC's whenever they're online?
Do they check out all emails, tune in on voice & video correspondences, uploads/downloads, etc?
Just how big piece of a budget would it take then for any government to cover all this digital communication?
Meanwhile software companies and entertainment businesses will do their very best to keep their copyrighted material from
spreading out of control and hackers will keep cracking and patching it instead, this will never stop regardless of however hard
copy protections there will be or how ever many laws there will be passed, both legislators and hackers knows this.

I don't know, I guess though that the day too much of our privacy will be monitored, that's when it's time to switch to 100%
free open source technology, with no strings attached whatsoever.
There's already open office, Linux, what have you, to be had totally free of charge, maybe that's the only way to dodge
copyright laws and such?
I guess there's no stopping communication monitoring though, maybe we just have to ignore it, learn to live with it?
After all, if there's nothing illegal going on, then we should be in the clear, right?

Well, weather or not they do monitor everything, they have the technology in place to handle such things:

The fusion process proactively seeks to identify perceived threats and stop them before they occur. A fusion center is typically organized by amalgamating representatives from different federal, state, local, and tribal law enforcement agencies into one physical location. However, some fusion centers gather information not only from government sources, but also from their partners in the private sector.

Nontraditional collectors of intelligence, such as public safety entities and private sector organizations, possess important information that can be fused' with law enforcement data to provide meaningful information and intelligence about threats and criminal activity.”
Now just who are these private sector people? Hmmm I  bet they have huge networking resources to be of interest to DHS.

Quite.
Still this "Internet thing" is fairly new to us, there will still be lots more tools
invented in the years to come to fight terrorism and whatever crimes you have,
including the "unregulated" spreading of copyright material (music, software etc).
Also, new machines will hit the market, built in such a way as to prevent
hackers and malware from affecting your computer & privacy, just because there
will be a demand for it.

Nowadays I mainly use my puters to visit forums, to actually do some useful work
on them and to google for information, if I wanted to I could always keep my
gaming machine away from all and any networks there are and simply just bit
torrent things to it via my laptop using some proxy of sort, thus dodging the
radars and only use my gaming machine for what it was built for in the first
place, which basically is for playing state of the art games and watching movies.

The moment you take any sort of computing platform and attach a battery or plug it into the wall, you are owned.  It's really that simple.  The real criminals run everything and the funny thing is that when these criminals pass laws, naive people actually try to follow the laws.  They do not understand the difference between legal and lawful.  The whole agenda is to make everyone a law breaker so that individual people can be picked off at any time at the whim of those who control the enforcers.

What do you think Bush meant by the "Rule of Law, supplants the law of the jungle." ???  (~ 8:08)

The law of the jungle is natures law, the way God meant for it to be.  The "Rule of Law" is something very different, built by men with a very different agenda than nature.

Exactly.

Stuff doesn't really need to be plugged in anymore.  Circuits can self power and transmit data wireless 30 feet.
