Wi-Fi 'illegal images' politician defends legislation
Added by the EDUCAUSE Librarian
Title:Wi-Fi 'illegal images' politician defends legislation (ID: CSD5262)
Author(s):Declan McCullagh (CNET News.com)
Origin:Contributed by Organizations or Campuses (12/06/2007)
Type:Articles, Papers, and Reports
Abstract:

The Democratic sponsor of a bill forcing anyone with an open Wi-Fi connection to report illegal images--or pay fines of up to $300,000--says a recent Internet outcry over the legislation misses the point.

Rep. Nick Lampson of Texas, who drafted the bill that the House of Representatives approved this week, said through a spokesman on Thursday that he didn't actually mean to target Americans who happen to have Wi-Fi access points at home. The legislation also covers social-networking sites, domain name registrars, Internet service providers, and e-mail service providers such as Hotmail and Gmail.
