Maryland, Virginia Consider UCITA

Bob Kopp writes "The state legislatures of Maryland and Virginia are among the first in the nation to consider passage of the Uniform Computer Information Transaction Act (UCITA). The Washington Post has coverage here. " The Federal Trade Commission says that UCITA allows software companies to place "restrictions on a consumer's right to sue for a product defect, to use the product, or even to publicly discuss or criticize the product." If you oppose UCITA and live in Maryland or Virginia, you need to call or fax your legislators immediately.
