Re: Support the bill if big business oppose it
"Big business" opposes it because the definition draws in potentially legitimate software that has nothing to do with spyware. That legit software may, or may not, comply with the technical terms of this bill. Vague bills encourage litigation.
What you are not being told is that "big business" includes a wide array of organizations opposing this bill, including the Center for Democracy & Technology. What you are also not being told is that this bill was bought and paid for by 1-800-Contacts, which is based in Sandy, Utah, and is the result of its ongoing battles with predatory pop-ups from competitors.
"Big business" has offered to work with the sponsors if the'd make the bill less about the technology and more about improper use of the technology... |
