Utah Sees First Spyware Case

Posted by simoniker on from the i-spy-controversy dept.

denlin writes "According to a story at The Register: 'Overstock.com is set to become the first company to take action under Utah's new anti-spyware law. The company has filed a complaint against online retailer SmartBargains in the third district court in Salt Lake City. Utah's spyware law, the world's first, only made the statute book on 3 May. Utah is the only state with current spyware legislation, although California and Iowa are considering their own versions of the law.'"

    In exchange for a gmail account I will email you an HTML ebook of The Joyous Cosmology by Alan Watts. Alan Watts was a great philosopher who studied many religions, especially from the east. This book is his discrption, in beautiful language, of his expereinces with LSD. It is out of print and rare so you won't find it in any book store.

    With men wedding men and women - women,
    why not legalize plural relationships too?

    With Homosexuality being legal,
    - why support Hate Speech against plural couples?

    Monogamy only upholds a 'Christian' value,
    what's a guy from another country supposed to do if
    he moves to the USA with his 7 wives ? Kick 6 of them out the door?

    The government should get out of the churches,
    and the churches should stay out of the government.
