"From 1 January, a new law is being introduced to protect computer users from software known as spyware."
"Consumers are able to seek up to $1,000 in damages if they think they have fallen victim to the intrusive software.
The new law marks a continuing trend in California towards tougher privacy rights."
"Arnold Schwarzenegger approved the measure"

Too bad I don't live in California... I'd just turn off Spybot and use Internet Explorer for a week and I'd be at least $10,000 richer.

I'd be so rich if I lived in Califormia. :(
