A proposed bill in Utah would make it a crime to install spyware on a user's computer, and un-like other proposed legislation, it makes no pleasant effort to distinguish "spyware" from "malware". Obviously the bill is opposed by giants like Amazon, AOL, AT&T, eBay, Microsoft, Verizon, and Yahoo, who all argue that the broad language of the bill could harm legitimate applications. Princeton professor Ed Felton offers both the bill itself (pdf file) and his analysis over at his Freedom-to-Tinker blog. As noted in our Morning Broadband Bytes report, CNET offered an article on the bill last week. A less strict federal anti-spyware bill is worming its way through Congress.
