Jennifer Baird discusses Safequard Against Privacy Invasions Act H.R. 2929 introduced July 25th, 2003 by Congresswoman Mary Bono

Representative Stephen Urquhart from Utah did a good job, on Panel Six, showing how informative the WhenU license agreement was in its "keyhole" scrolling text window. He also mentioned a company (I assume Claria) who was filing an intent to do an IPO, said they would not do business in Utah if the state passed their Anti-Spyware legislation. Everyone seemed to agree that was fine. :)
