4. Oops the bill does not propose legal "hacking" per-se, but instead proposes legalizing various, essentially, stalking and spamming, and other illegal harrasment.

Tactics proposed, include:

•* interdiction, in which a copyright owner floods a file swapper with false requests so that downloads can't get through;

•* redirection, in which a file swapper might be pointed to a site that doesn't actually have the files they're looking for;

•* and spoofing, in which a corrupt or otherwise undesirable file masquerades as a song, movie or other file that people are seeking.


We might as well allow private citizens to call someone who they suspect burgled them with an automated dialer, every 10 seconds so they can't plan any more robberies.
