While taking a look at the proposed Texas law, it appears that it
only applies if you are trying to actually cause harm:
QUOTE:
SECTION 2. Sections 31.12(a), (b), and (e), Penal Code, are
amended to read as follows:
(a) A person commits an offense if, with the intent to harm
or defraud a communication service
It doesn't look as bad as it was made out to be, but it all
depends on how they determine "intent".
[Moderator's note: is using a NAT box "intent to defraud" a cable
modem provider? --Perry]
