Posted by Rebecca Bolin on Tuesday, July 06 @ 14:50:55 EDT Privacy
Securely Protect Yourself Against Cyber Trespass Act (SPY-ACT Act) has been approved by the House Committee on Energy and Commerce, 45-4. It now will be presented to the entire House of Representatives for a vote.

Details are still being worked out; further amendements are likely, especially once the Senate gets this bill. Still, spyware legislation is looming, and it looks like no one is rushing this one.
