SPY Act
Full article at http://www.securityfocus.com/news/8941
The SPY Act, for "Securely Protect Yourself Against Cyber Trespass," would oblige companies and individuals to conspicuously warn consumers before giving them a program capable of automatically transmitting information gathered from a user's computer. Though the bill carries no criminal penalties, and doesn't allow users to sue spyware merchants, anyone in the U.S. caught uploading such a program without obtaining the consumer's consent could face civil prosecution by the Federal Trade Commission (FTC).
Well, at least it's a start. Could be interesting?
