[governance] Potential changes w.r.t EULA violations as felony (was: Aaron Swartz passing)

[James S. Tyre]

Lofgren's bill, if passed, would solve some (not all) of the problems with CFAA.

 

The flip side is that there are two other bills pending in Congress which, if passed,
would expand the scope of CFAA, not narrow it, and would increase the penalties for
violating CFAA.

FYI,

Thanks John. It's really good to see the developments with shifts in social consciousness
as espoused within Representative Zoe Logfren led reforms inspired by Aaron and the
distinction between a Terms of Service violation and Federal Data theft. 

 

See:

rms%20of%20service%20violations%20from%20cfaa%20%20wre%20fraud%20011513.pdf

It will be great to get as much support over social media as possible and awareness.
