Jail time for offenders! Wonder how enforcable it'll be?

Also wonder what the one bloke who voted against it was thinking?

It's not gone through the Senate yet and the article does make reference to other bills which need to be reconciled, but it does sound as if we'll have some sort of legislation eventually.

He clearly has not got a PC otherwise he would definitely have come across scumware.

Not enforceable at all, the US is not in a bubble.
