Some people on the thread (most of whom did not read the article) are reacting like people's rights are being violated here. It's the other way around. There's been a lot of commotion lately about how online games are being ruined by cheats and aimbots. It's impossible for game makers to keep up. It should be illegal to make or distribute cheats for online games for the same reason it should be illegal to shit in a water fountain: you're not just modifying your stuff, you're ruining it for everybody else.

This law makes it illegal to create arseholes that can shit in water fountains.
Not shitting in water fountains.

The way I see it, this looks more like an attempt by the video game industry to pass the cost of preventing cheating to the taxpayers.

It should be illegal to pollute a water supply, but really, we can find another water fountain which isn't soiled. A law seems heavy handed, as it does here to protect the narrow interest of online gamers.
