Amendment: Violation of ToS Should Not Be a Crime

Khyber writes "Three data and security breach notification bills have been approved by the Senate Judiciary Committee, one of which includes an amendment that adds clarity with regards to the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act. These three bills would require businesses to develop data privacy and security plans, and it would set a federal standard for notifying individuals of breaches of very sensitive personally identifiable information, such as credit card information or medical records. This clarification is welcomed, making the statute more focused towards hackers and identity thieves, instead of consumers that run afoul of ToS or AUPs of websites and service providers."

in some cases massive corporations need to be held in line

Dirty hippie. If you feel this way why don't you just go live in some European socialist hellhole.

Those corporations are the job creators and should be allowed to do whatever they want. Any infringement on their God-given right to do whatever they want is an example of how those islamist demoncrats take away your liberty.
