Summary of Net Legislation

Posted by jamie on from the everybody-look-what's-goin-round dept.

CNET News.com ran a story today, "Congress Passes Slew of High-Tech Bills." It's a look back at what U.S. legislators have been doing throughout 1999. The EFF summarizes this year's crop of laws as "anti-consumer, anti-public and pro-business."

  1. Big business interests... by wesmills · · Score: 2
    I particularly like the part about how future legislation in this area will primarily further big business interests. As they mentioned, companies are using Congress to slug out their competitive differences, and the consumers get trampled for it.

    Ah well...is Canada any better?
