The End of Net Anonymity In Brazil

DieNadel writes, "The Brazilian senate is considering a bill that will make it a crime to join a chat, blog, or download from the Internet without fully identifying oneself first. Privacy groups and Internet providers are very concerned, and are trying to lobby against the bill, but it seems they won't have much success." From the article: "If approved, it will be a crime, punishable with up to 4 years of jail time, to disseminate virus or trojans, unauthorizedly access data banks or networks and send e-mail, join chat, write a blog or download content anonymously."

I know something that you don't know.

An arrest full of Anonymous Cowards?
I guess all cell walls soon will contain the words "First Post".

How about a short course of bash to go with those Trojans, Susy?

You will get to practice unzip, touch, finger, grep, strip, mount. And last but not least, fsck, dump and sleep

How the fuck are you going to remember what's legal and illegal when the laws are repealed almost daily.

Finally, a use for RSS feeds!
