| Strictly construed
Dear Friends,
Since the Michigan statute is penal in nature it must be strictly construed, thus, irrespective of its intent, the lettre of the law must be followed.
The very purpose of VPN is to transmit while hiding origin and terminus of the protocol, and, since it is transmitted over lines operated by a carrier for a charge, it is as of tomorrow illegal in Michigan.
Would any sane person prosecute a law office for a tele-commuter writing and sending a brief from his house? Probably not, but the statute makes it illegal. Either the statute is so poorly written as to be laughable, or the intent is what is says it is. Does one take one's lawmakers to be idiots or tyrants?
These laws are written by the evil to harm the ignorant, for the benefit of the powerful.
In a land where personal security and corporate profit, to wit those things creating economic well-being, have become more important than the rule of law under an extremely libertarian constitution, believing that the state will not use the tools it has created for whatever needs be done to promote its own power, and the power of those who support the politicians is panglossian.
To trust the government is unwise in normal times, to trust it in times of fear is foolhardy.

I beg to disagree!!! VPN doesn't try to hide the identity of the "origin and terminus", your ISP can tell where the data traffic you are sending goes. They would just be unable to packet sniff anything decipherable going across the VPN tunnel. Although they could collect this data and give it to the FBI and I am sure they could decrypt the contents if they were investigating you. |
