Super-DMCA

There’s a set of bills in Texas, as well as SC, FL, GA, AK, TN, CO, and MI, that extend criminal penalties for cable piracy to the internet.
The bill is very broadly written, and could be construed to ban firewalls, NAT, anonymous email, and any number of other normal things you’d do with your internet connection.
EFF-Austin is working on this, in conjunction with other civil liberties organizations. We’re being quiet about it for the next few days.
More soon. Send me email if you’d like to know more.
