If this bill passes
"when a user accepts Microsoft’s Windows operating system on that new computer, or Norton AntiVirus, or Apple’s operating system or a host of other online-upgradable programs, that user agrees to being watched by the company."

This is only for Oklahoma. But if it does pass, it will set a precedent for other states to follow. Since Microsoft helped write this bill, I'm sure they'd be more than happy to spread it throughout the US.

Looks like it's time to start planning demonstrations, rallies, strikes and boycotts to get these companies to stop doing stuff like this. Oh yea that's right....people that do that are criminals and troublemakers....
