I dunno the full details of everything, but I am not necessarily against FBI working with private industry to crack down on malware threats. Furthermore, as mentioned in that "get around the law" business, it seems like businesses and FBI are doing this anyway. So its best if we actually did get a legal framework correct to do this correctly.
Basically, there is a virus threat in this country, and in many cases... the industry (ie: Microsoft, McAffee, etc. etc.) know more than the government on specific attacks. Encouraging the sharing of information between industry and government is a good thing.
Writing a law that formalizes the process is also a good thing.
This law as written isn't necessarily good, but I think I'm supportive of the general idea of what they're going for. There are major privacy concerns... but I'll have to go through the bill a few times before I can form an opinion on it. Anyone have thoughts on the technicalities?
