This bill would make it illegal to distribute p2p file trading software to a minor without obtaining parent's permission. Of course, the people who are writing this law can't figure out how to define p2p software, so they skip it by saying that another law has to be passed within a year that defines the term, but that the term ought to include software that allows a user to send and receive files. Then they go on to say:

enable the user of one such computer to designate files or data available for transmission to another such computer, but which definition excludes, to the extent otherwise included, software products legitimately marketed and distributed primarily for the operation of business of home networks, the networks of Internet access providers, or the Internet itself.

Obviously they are trying to say that NBT is ok but Kazaa is not. They are going to have a real hard time crafting that definition, if you ask me.

I wonder what happens if you pass a law that bans X, but doesn't define it. Then X is later found to be impossible to define?
