Spyware Could Cost You $2M In Washington State

Internet Week > > Spyware Could Cost You $2M In Washington State > April 19, 2005

Now this is the kind of legislation I'm looking for. In Washington State, if you are found guilty of using spyware or phishing to steal someone's private information, you can be both prosecuted by the governement and sued by victimized customers. This will likely not have much effect on those criminals acting outside the US, but it might help here at home.
