 Posted: Fri Sep 24, 2004 9:17 am Post subject: Anti-Spyware Legislation - Feedback Needed |
 |
|
I need some suggestions examples of major spyware/adware companies whose practices would not be affected by the proposed anti-spyware bills in Congress now.
Here's the newest revision of the SPY ACT, H.R. 2929 (PDF file)
http://www.spywarewarrior.com/files/AINS_FL.PDF
There is another bill just approved in a Senate committee on the 22nd, SPYBLOCK, online here:
http://thomas.loc.gov/cgi-bin/query/z?c108:S.2145:
| Quote: |
| The Senate Commerce Committee approved a revised version of the Burns-Wyden "SPYBLOCK" Act on September 22. The bill would give the FTC authority over a variety of spyware-related activities, and would make covert installation of software illegal. Anti-spyware legislation has now been approved by Committees in both the House and Senate, and is awaiting consideration by the full membership in both houses. September 23, 2004 |
Edit - I goofed the first time I posted this. What I need is examples of major spyware vendors whose practices would *not* be affected by the proposed legislation, the purpose being to show why the legislation is weak and would not be effective.
Please respond and add your examples.
Thanks.
