Title: Why should firewalls be illegal?
Post by: on July 01, 2004, 11:57:57 AM: I've been reading many old news articles online on how more and more states are making firewalls illegal. I'm sure my state (Michigan) makes them illegal. It's because of the DMCA. I use a firewall program all the time anyway.
Who do the legislators who write up these bans think they're from? People's Republic of China?, Ba'ath Iraq?, where else?

Anyway, those laws can't possibly hold up since the next Windows XP service pack will contain a firewall activated by default (that actually mostly works unlike the last one). Write your legislators and tell them how you feel.

The wall of fire, or "firewall" protects your weak, frail computer from the likes of terrible viruses.

Next time I'll tell you about "1337 h4x0rz" and "Trojans"

Oh, and 1337 means LEET.
