House Passes Spyware Bills

Posted by samzenpus on Monday May 23, 2005 @09:49PM from the listen-to-the-law dept.

stinerman writes "Today the house passed two bills aimed at stopping spyware / adware and unauthorized use of computers. H.R. 29 makes it 'unlawful for any person who is not the owner or authorized user of a protected computer to engage in deceptive acts or practices'. H.R. 744 (I-SPY Act) prohibits accessing a protected system via code copied on to the system to, among other things, disseminate personal information. Both bills sailed through the house and are expected to be passed by the Senate."

When will people learn to just let the grammar errors go? I know it's hard, but just ignore it.

BTW, "Dude!" could also be an interjection and it's just fine, although I'll agree with you on the total waste of a post.
