  1. Re:list generating software on Australia To Fast-Track Anti-Spam Bill · · Score: 1

    This list of ports is produced a program which would be illegal under the category of 'list-generating software' ie. would become collateral damage from a far too inspecific law.

  2. list generating software on Australia To Fast-Track Anti-Spam Bill · · Score: 4, Insightful

    I can think of many good and essential uses for list generating software

    -scientific data result generation.

    -list of open ports on a computer for security analysis.

    -list of most popular products from your on-line store front for re-ordering and evaluation.

    -compiler/assembler output is a list of errors in your code hence a compiler is list-generating software.

    -list of journey routes and times generated through point and click maps.

    -security auditing software recording logon times and users.

    -lists generated by search engines. be it online or by database search.

    The law bans all of this legitimate and essential software and i think i could go on all day thinking of situations this software is needed.
