Did a search and didn't see it posted. Looked interesting enough to post.

Is this even going to be enforceable? Or just another law on paper only? So many of these companies are off-shore.

Much of this spyware is installed on Windows computers by international crime rings. This law may hit a few domestic unethical organizations, but the majority of offenders are not affected.

As with everything I expect the Congress will do more harm than good. They will likely pass some worthless legislation that will do next to nothing to stop spyware, but have a big glorious title.
At the same time the bill will be loaded with lots of wicked little details that could screw over all of us Internet power users.
Beware!

Any penalties for spyware that don't involve severe genital mutilation are insufficient.
