So why not host such lists overseas, or from a country without such  
goofy
and broadly-written tech laws? (Assuming this one gets enacted as is, of
course.)  That seems to be the immediate solution if for some reason  
this
law got passed as it reads now.

However, I doubt the Secret Service and state Ags would take this  
bill as
written....every Tom, Dick, Dave, Declan, and Rick potentially would be
calling them to report things.  Not like their resources are in complete
abundance for this, you know.  :)

One question I've not seen yet, though -- what about folks running  
mailing
lists hosted by ISP or web companies instead of on servers they own
themselves?   Eg, if INFOWARRIOR-L was hosted at Earthlink on a shared
server, is it Earthlink's job to report a data breach to ME to relay  
to my
users, or is it MY job to report it to my users?  Where does the  
burden of
effort (labor or financial) lie here?  IIRC the proposed law doesn't  
make
that clear.

The draft bill is a decent first step, but leaves MANY unanswered  
questions
and as someone else said earlier, creates more problems for legitimate
users/companies than it solves.
