While I can't really see legitimate uses of some of the "hacking tools" - viruses, botnets, rootkits (yes, you, Sony!), etc. - I can't get rid of the feeling that there is another hand trying to get a grip on the free land of Internet, and I really don't like that.

On a completely tangential matter, I have a feeling this is going to be another one of that laws that cost a lot of money and have little to no effect... at least positive effect.
