I did have the general impression that Norway had decent privacy laws, it does however seem it's rapidly changing.

Norway is implementing the EU "Data retention Directive", 2006/24/EC.

While I don't know the exact specifics, it were recently opened for private parties to conduct piracy investigations on behalf of the media industry. I don't imagine they were granted powers in regard to gathering information, I think it's more in regards of keeping/storing it.
