This is unconstitutional. It was decided and placed in the books long ago that one state cannot rule or dictate another state or it's residents. This is why people still have to extradited in order to get someone from another state. In other words, if Virginia demands that a resident of Texas must go to their court.... it is completely up to Texas as to whether they actually compel the individual to go. Besides that, defamation is a CIVIL matter not criminal. So the odds of a person actually being extradited is astronomical.
#%@*^!.... SETI@home is a program??? I friggin' thought it was a directive! I guess I'll quit staying up late at night in the attic with a flashlight looking for little grey men.
