Detroit Free Press on Michigan legislation:

The proposed Michigan law, somewhat similar to anti-spyware legislation passed in Utah and California, would also make it illegal to collect personal information without a user’s permission or modify Internet security settings or disable antivirus software. Violators would be guilty of a felony and could be punished by up to 5 years in prison or a $10,000 fine…Its intent is to address the issue of phony profiles entered by married people or online predators seeking relationships…But really, this proposed legislation is a masterful example of marketing and special interest legislation.
