Though this isn't completely related to the question at hand, thought this legislation in MI & CO might interest you...I also heard that a total of 8 states are considering similar legislation, but can't say if PA was one of them. I live in CO, so I'm quite bothered by this law.........

A mini-DMCA Bill. Some postings/discussion have that it could inadvertantly outlaw NAT, encryption, and VPNs.....

If anyone out there has further insight on this law, I'd appreciate hearing about it!

Thanks!

There has been a bit of publicity lately that new EU legislation would
make it illegal to monitor email content, run an IDS system and watch
web activity.

I have looked through the various acts in place but cannot see anything
specific.

Has anyone heard more or does anyone have a few URLs that might give
more details on these 'rumours'

Many thanks
