Story: Lord battles government over cybercrime laws

It seems to me that the House of Lords has been very poorly informed overall concerning these matters. Best to sent these cybercrime laws back from where they came from along with the message that they should redo their home work. To go on as things are now would only result in fighting symptoms for just the issues that are obvious (for some) at present. Basically setting yourself up for additional "oversights" in the future.
I wonder. The text, quote, to release a computer tool that is "likely to be used" in a computer offense, unquote. Might that include Windows? Outlook? MSN? Internet Explorer? Printers? Keyboards? Because such tools are likely to be used in order to test the average attack possibilities. Not to mention the development of.
In short, stop fighting symptoms. You'll find it much easier to put into law that what resolves causes. A small hint: realistic liability there where it matters.
