Does it matter if IT matters? Yes and no

Lord battles government over cybercrime laws
Talkback It seems to me that the House of Lords has been very poorly informed overall concerning these matters. A small hint: realistic liability there where it matters. Best to sent these cybercrime laws back from where they came from along with the...
