The has to be thousands of "script kiddies" out there (getting?) ready to take on the task of hacking systems or creating a virus. If anyone has seen the sizable contracts a couple of there predessors have gotten it would seem like a good idea. This act is there to change that but has the same effect as capital punishment on a serial killer i.e. it just makes the thrill of getting away with it greater. How about companies think about hiring these hackers and crackers to secure the systems and keep them channelled on something good rather then bad so that this act can act against those whom it is meant for (osama bin laden?)
