Congress about to legalize spyware

As reported in this morning's BoingBoing. The SPY act, which is nominally an anti-spyware law, actually includes language making it legal for companies such as Sony to install spyware on customers' computers.

The FTC and DoJ have both said that they already have the authority they need to go after spyware vendors, so the new law has no effect other than to legalize spyware.
