The U.S. House of Representatives moved on its anti-spyware bill Wednesday by unanimously voting it out of committee and sending it to the House floor for consideration.
In a vote of 43-0, the Energy and Commerce Committee passed the Spy Act (Securely Protect Yourself Against Cyber Trespass Act), but only after one final amendment that specifically called out "Web bugs" (which also go by "Web beacons") as legal. Wednesday's amendment also legalized persistent, embedded advertisements, something that was forbidden in earlier editions of the bill.
