1 edit | Re: a toothless load of cra................... I honestly think what's going to happen is spyware will be legalized rather than banned. And the purveyors of which will hide behind this act effectively putting the federal stamp of approval on it. Add to that the false sense of security it will give people and OMG, look out.
"Spyware is illegal, this _must_ be OK."
said by sivran  :Ah, but if a man gains your permission to enter by false pretenses, and you then decide you want him out, he must leave or he is trespassing.  But, when you doorbell rings, do you open the door and just walk away without ever looking to see who it is you just let in? And do you instantaneously forget who it was and what they wanted? Do you look the other way and never notice as they walk out the door with your wallet, TV, VCR, and every other thing they can find? And after they're gone, and you've been looted, do you yell down the street saying "HEY, YOU GET OUT OF HERE!"?
Addressing user ignorance is the first step. All of the dotes out there will be basking in the warm glow of this act as they clink through every little box that passes in front of them.
