That capitol hill computer part sounds likely, but worse is the malicious entity
part "So you mean I can lock someone's computer by downloading a few movies
illegally on it?".
Would any confession used to get your computer unlocked count as evidence? After
all it is under duress.[ Reply to This | Parent | # ]

- You can suggest pretty much anything for what you think the law should be.
- By the same right to free speech we can mercilessly ridicule you for
suggesting mind numbingly stupid laws.

It would be of no surprise to me if that would have been fixed by some sort of
EULA or TOS one has to "agrrr" with.
Would microsoft really go sofar as to give a key for "secure booting"
on those rootkits ?
Or is this all to scare people to a secure bootable computer ?[ Reply to This | Parent | # ]

What you are forgetting is that this proposal is aimed at corporate
espionage and counter-espionage.
If implemented, the only organisations that won't have wholesale
data destruction, are the organisations that understand and
implement true security.
One aspect that the writers of the proposal have not thought
through, is that if the proposal becomes law, it will be legal for
anybody to remotely wipe and destroy all data that belongs to a
third party, regardless of where that data is located.

Gaining unauthorized access to a computer: check
Doing so in an organized and for-profit way: check
Disrupting the intended operations of the computer: check
Dear mrs. prosecutor: please throw the book at them. No, not
that small one: the BIG one. The one that reads a dozen
felonies for hiding a netbook in an open closet. This kind of
actions fits with what that blistering law was intended for.
