<description><![CDATA[Tennessee lawmakers have passed a bill that would make sharing log-in information, including usernames and passwords, illegal within the state's borders, the Associated Press reports.According to the news service, the legislation easily passed Tennessee's state legislature and Gov. Bill Haslam has signed the bill into law. The legislation, which is an expansion upon theft laws that prosecute people for stealing cable service or not paying for a meal at a restaurant, will take effect July 1, the AP reported today.Once the law takes effect, those who share log-in information with friends or even family from any subscription service, including Netflix and Rhapsody, could be charged with theft. Infringers who are deemed to have stolen up to $500 entertainment content, including movies or music, could be charged with a misdemeanor and face up to a year in jail and a $2,500 fine. Imprisonment terms and fines go up for those who steal more than $500 worth of content.Although the law targets those who steal log-in information of unsuspecting people for access to content, it still has the potential to apply to families with a single account for an entertainment service, such as Netflix.  Under Tennessee's law, only service providers can press charges against allegedly infringing customers.Netflix itself has already started considering ways to combat username-sharing. In April, Netflix posted a question-and-answer page to its investors site, discussing plans for encouraging families to pay for multiple plans, rather than consume content from a single account.<br/><br/>0 Vote(s) ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Trend Micro has created an Online Guardian that it says will help parents monitor and control the online activity of their children. Debuting today, Online Guardian for Parents continues the revamp of Trend Micro's home consumer security line that started last fall with its cloud-based Titanium security suites. In fact, Online Guardian leverages the same cloud-based, proprietary database called Smart Protection to extend rapid-response protection to Web site monitoring.Trend Micro&amp;39's new Online Guardian dashboard.(Credit:Screenshot by Seth Rosenblatt/CNET)In addition to standard parental control features such as URL filtering, instant message monitoring, identity data protection, an online time manager, a Web-based control panel, and per-child user profiles, Online Manager's social networking guards separate it from the current competition like Norton Online Family and NetNanny. Parents can use Online Manager to monitor pictures and video viewed on YouTube and Flickr, but the program's best social networking tools come from its Facebook app.Parents can use the Online Guardian Facebook app to monitor public wall posts, including photos and videos, as well as private, nonpublic posts, and get reports on mobile device Facebook activity.However, because the Facebook monitoring depends on an app, it is possible for the Facebook user to simply disable the app, which will then prevent reporting. &quot;The child can uninstall the app,&quot; admitted Laura Martinez, Online Guardian's product manager at Trend Micro, but she cautioned that there are several safeguards that will keep parents in the loop. &quot;Online Guardian's browser logging will keep track of browsing history, and the Guardian will automatically notify parents if there's been no Facebook activity detected for seven days.&quot; She agreed that it's an imperfect solution, and said that it likely will be addressed in future versions.For right now, Trend Micro Online Guardian remains a desktop app, with its dashboard only accessible on mobile devices via the browser. Martinez said that the first revision to the program will introduceiPhone and Android dashboard apps, although there's no word yet on how Online Guardian will mesh with Trend Micro Mobile Security, the company's Android app, which already offers limited parental control features. Online Guardian is available as an unrestricted 30-day trial, after which a one-year license retails for $49.95, the same price as Norton Online Family, and $10 more than NetNanny.<br/><br/>0 Vote(s) ]]></description>
