On: State "Communication Services" Laws Analyzed

This is not a new disclosure. Fred von Lohmann, also of EFF, drew similar conclusions in his analysis, which concludes that super-DMCA legislation:

• is unnecessary
• seeks to forbid what is not expressly permitted
• removes the "Intent to Defraud" qualifier
• attacks anonymity
• chills computer security research
• is a threat to innovation and competition
• transfers law enforcement from public to private hands
• seeks dangerous, one-sided remedies

Lohmann also references the model bill that the MPAA is circulating among the states, a line-by-line analysis of which is here.
