I-SPY - H.R. 4661
H.R. 4661, Internet Spyware (I-SPY) Prevention Act of 2004, a balanced approach focused on toughening up penalties for publishers of malicious software.
This bill would impose criminal penalties on individuals who intentionally access a personal computer without authorization by causing a computer program or code to be copied onto a protected computer, and intentionally using that program or code to harm a person or cause damage to a computer.
It represents the strongest measure yet and is truly a step forward in the right direction in the fight against Spyware.
