Re: How is a keylogger illegal?
As another commentard asks, why is it illegal to produce a keylogger? It's particularly stupid that somebody is prosecuted for producing one in a country where being convicted due to evidence from a keylogger allows a person to walk away because law enforcement don't want anybody to know what their keylogger does.
I think it's not the act of coding one itself, it's selling it to people of which you can have a reasonable suspicion they'll use it for illegal purposes. That makes you at a minimum an accessory, and I suspect that's what they used to get him to plea guilty.
