<div>Hi all</div>
<div> </div>
<div>I did read the story and found the legislation somewhat welcome as a deterrent against piracy. A conundrum still exist after reading this phrase from the stoy:</div>
<div>"<font size="4">But some consumer groups have warned that the wrong people might be punished, should hackers hijack their computers' identity, and that the scheme amounted to state surveillance</font>". <br>
</div>
<div><font size="2"></font>I have had my email hijacked once as some of you have see some commercial message appearing along side my postings sometime ago.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Question: won't this legislation be pretext for a rise in th hacking business?</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Cheers <br> </div>
