This from the UK.

quote "MPs have decided to take another look at the legislation used to
prosecute people who hack, scramble and generally misuse computers.
And about time too.

When was the last time you saw a hacker get the sort of sentence they
deserve for their actions? When was the last time you even heard about
a big time hacker or virus writer getting caught at all?

Perhaps that's the bigger problem. It's all very well having a nice
tight law ready for when you get these people in the dock, but how do
you get them there in the first place?" unquote

This, at first glance appears to be the UK's version (virus?) of what the Americans are going through?
The nicest thing about this is the link title, HaxXo0R programmer with a sense of humour ???
