Whois Record Falsification Closer To Illegality

PipianJ writes "Reuters is reporting that the House of Representatives has recently passed the bill that would approve of penalties for those using fraudulent WHOIS records (H.R. 3632). Interestingly however, this does not directly outlaw it, instead extending the penalty by seven years for felonies performed using such fraudulent websites. The Senate has not yet passed their version (S.2242). The bill as originally written, however, focuses primarily on penalties for promoting counterfeit music, computer programs, and other media with identical labeling."

That's true for swing states, but if you don't happen to live in one of those, you may as well vote for the person you think will be the best candidate regardless of party affiliation. Otherwise the two parties get the message from the voting public that the two parties are all they really want and have no incentive to adapt to reality.
