http://www.politechbot.com/2004/06/24/spyware-prison/ Because the House Commerce committee doesn't have jurisdiction over criminal law, they can't do much beyond fining spyware purveyors. And if that's not good enough? Along comes Yet Another Spyware Bill (there are something like three or four now), but this one comes from the House Judiciary committee and it includes prison terms -- of up to two years. You can see my summary of it at News.com or read the complete text, which is just four pages, for yourself.
