Hacking = life in prision?

~~David~~ · Jul 17, 2002, 12:54 AM

According to the U.S House of Representatives it does.

"WASHINGTON--The House of Representatives on Monday overwhelmingly approved a bill that would allow for life prison sentences for malicious computer hackers.
By a 385-3 vote, the House approved a computer crime bill that also expands police ability to conduct Internet or telephone eavesdropping without first obtaining a court order.

The Bush administration had asked Congress to approve the Cyber Security Enhancement Act (CSEA) as a way of responding to electronic intrusions, denial of service attacks and the threat of "cyber-terrorism." The CSEA had been written before the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks last year, but the events spurred legislators toward Monday evening's near-unanimous vote."

Rightly or wrongly, hacking is probably the aforementioned agencies greatest weapon, so i guess the law will have to be relaxed in certain circumstances.

Congress approves life sentences for crackers
By John Leyden
Posted: 07/16/2002 at 07:29 EST

The US House of Representatives has approved a bill which raises the penalty for computer crime to a maximum of life imprisonment.

Crackers who put lives at risk, either knowingly or through "reckless" behaviour, could be sent to jail for life under measures in the Cyber Security Enhancement Act, which the house yesterday passed an overwhelming majority by 385 votes to three.

The bill also seeks to impose tougher sentencing regimes for computer criminals.

Controversy, however, centres on measures designed water down ISPs responsibility to protect their users data and turn into government snitches.

The bill encourages ISPs to report suspicious activity on their networks (whatever that might be), even if it poses no immediate threat, and shield them from lawsuits from anyone objecting to such privacy intrusions. Service providers are also required to keep customer records, including emails, for 90 days, under the bill.

Civil liberties groups are concerned that the Act will erode Internet privacy because it could give law enforcement agencies leverage in obtaining records from service providers without the tedious business of obtaining a search warrant.

The bill has to go to Senate, where it is expected to receive little opposition, before becoming law. ®

So does that mean, no more NO CD Cracks??
