Re: This is total crap
If you were more open minded then you could see that once this is passed, what is to stop more laws to be passed that are more restrictive. As it stands, this is sorta bad but it could get much worse.

If you read Subsection 1, it says it all.
Basically it's about theft of and/or through telecom devices. It's not about hiding from the FBI or CIA or whatever if you're legally using the Internet or any other means of communications.
It could probably be read though that if you download or upload any copyright files to/from any person that has no right to them using P2P then that could possibly violate this law but that's a whole different issue. |

| What about ISPs that provide NAT based modems? Is the ISP going to go to your house and take it back and give you a bridge type modem? What about college campuses? They use NAT. Looks like they are going to have to buy more blocks of IPs. What would this do to the internet? Seems like 8 states may be prime for hacker attacks. And what about compusa and bestbuy? Or even linksys, netgear, dlink and others, there going to be pissed. Ill say this, you can have my router when you pry it from my cold dead fingers.
