More Hannah Montana fallout

The Hannah Montana bill has passed the Minnesota Senate.

Due to the uproar from many young kids, and their parents, who could not get tickets to Hanna Montana shows, a bill was passed in the Minnesota Senate making it illegal to use ticket software that enables “bots” to purchase tickets.

A “bot” is a piece of code that simulates a web request so a user does not have to sit at a keyboard and browse the site. A bot can actually simulate multiple web sessions at once. These bots are common internet items and account for a significant piece of web traffic. Bots themselves are not bad, it all depends on what they are programmed to do. Spammers use bots to find unprotected computers to hijack to send their spam from. Google and Yahoo use bots to find out what is on webpages to include in their search results.

The Minnesota House has not yet voted on the bill.
