Well, we will have to see where this goes.

A U.S. House of Representatives subcommittee on Tuesday once again approved a bill that proposes up to five years in prison for malicious spyware-related activities. Reps. Zoe Lofgren (D-Calif.) and Bob Goodlatte (R-Va.) reintroduced the measure, known as the Internet Spyware Prevention Act, or I-Spy for short, in mid-March.

Rather than attempting to define what illicit software is, the bill would make it a crime to copy computer code on a machine without authorization if doing so divulges "personal information" about a user or "impairs" a computer's security. Violators would face up to five years in prison.
