bad bill that is
nothing more than a wolf in sheep's clothing
becomes law, there won't be a chance to get truly
effective anti-phishing legislation enacted
for years to come. We've all see how ineffective
the U.S. government's Can Spam Act has
been in stopping spam. We should try to do
better in combating phishing.
As Collins wrote in
his post "this is an ineffective
anti-phishing bill and an overreaching
trademark bill. Let’s work together to
stop this bad trademark bill and then help
Congress to do some really effective work
on phishing. I invite CADNA to come clean
and join us in asking Congress for a real
anti-phishing bill. Phishing is harmful to their
members too and we should work together to stop
phishing, not be fighting over new rights for
trademark owners who already have UDRP and
ACPA on their side."
