If Bruce's wireless network is insecure as stated in the introduction to this topic, I am sure that there is some sort of virtual therapy that can help his wireless access port with its virtual emotions. If not, surely our Congress' time would be better spent writing bills to provide publicly funded grants to some university to research the psychological well-being of computer brains than it has been spent writing laws to control and limit the use of technologies they don't even understand.
If, on the other hand, Bruce's wireless is unsecured, that should certainly not be the business of the United States Congress. If his ISP feels cheated or slighted, that should be settled in a civil trial, not a criminal trial.
