http://www.freep.com/money/tech/mwend25_20030425.htmCritics of Public Act 672, which was signed into law Dec. 30 by former Gov. John Engler, claim legislators were pressured by the Motion Picture Association of America (MPAA) into accepting changes to the state's telecommunications law that could prohibit people from having firewall protections on their home computers or from using things like Virtual Private Networks (VPNs), a popular way many workers use to connect from home to the computer system back at the office.
"That is not the intent at all," said state Rep. James Koetje, R-Walker, the sponsor of the update. "These people either haven't read the bill or have misunderstood it. All the new wording does is prohibit attempts to defraud, or unlawful use of electronic devices."
