hb1630_96.act
Incredibly stupid and unconstitutional legislation authored by state legislator (and BellSouth employee) Don Parsons that makes it a crime to be anonyous or pseudonymous online, to use anyone else's trademark in an email address or domain name (even if the trademark is in a completely different area of commerce and not applicable to online services), and other terrible things. Passed into state law by governor, Apr. 18, 1996.
