The U.S. House of Representatives outlaw spyware. - GoFuckYourself.com

Turboface · 05-24-2005, 09:13 PM

The U.S. House of Representatives on Monday voted to establish new penalties for purveyors of Internet "spyware" that disables users' computers and secretly monitors their activities.

By overwhelming majorities, the House passed two bills that stiffen jail sentences and establish multimillion-dollar fines for those who use secret surveillance programs to steal credit-card numbers, sell software or commit other crimes.

this is a fucking joke

Rich · 05-24-2005, 10:32 PM

ahahahaha, I wonder how much 12dicks is praising his Republicans today. A multi-million dollar fine is really going to put a dent in his chip stack.

What US government agency do you report spyware too? Out of curiosity...

xclusive · 05-24-2005, 10:38 PM

Hey it was a start and long over due if they can stop even one of the major pushers of the crap it's a good thing

Oh, but don't worry his isn't spyware, the screwed over user has to agree to install it according to him. It's adware which of course is a totally respectable business model ..

It will be interesting to read this law, that's for sure.

The bills prohibit a number of practices often associated with spyware, such as reprograming the start page on a user's Web browser, logging keystrokes to capture passwords and other sensitive data, or launching pop-up ads that can't be closed without shutting down the computer

None of SI's spyware does any of that.

Oh lord, this is going to be fucking great.

Tango · 05-24-2005, 10:48 PM

another useless law
ban it instead of regulating it
push all of them out of the usa where its impossible to enforce shit
push all of the $$ generated out of the usa - so there is nothing they can tax
great move

Joe Citizen · 05-24-2005, 11:31 PM

Poor 12clicks... the king of spyware and scumware.

jollyperv · 05-24-2005, 11:47 PM

It's pathetic how one-dimensionally our government thinks.

Fukeneh · 05-25-2005, 01:03 AM

You are right.

But this administration wants to go alone in eveything ( war, space military, Khyoto, 2257, road-map to peace , commercial treaties, ...)

If they would use their brains ( that excludes GW of course ), they would bring these matters to international orgs ... to get a law with big jaws...

Meanwhile, 12shits is clicking in his pants

That bill (it's not a law yet) barely does anything over what the law already currently does. I don't see a carved out exemption to normal contract law. Normal contract law says as long as you willingly click the I agree button you are agreeing to the software's terms. Maybe this law should have widened the procedural unconscionability aspects of "agreeing" to a software agreement. Also, maybe used the central theory of "trespass" for computers (as some California courts have attempted) in making some spyware behavior illegal.
