Computer trespass

[1] Each state has its own laws regarding computer trespassing but they all echo the federal act in some manner.

She expresses how, with the passage of time, the CFAA becomes a more cruel law with the current language used in the act.

She then suggests that the United States Congress should take the act into review and refer it to the Eighth Amendment to update the language to better fit modern law and society.

[5] Kerr wrote in his essay, "Trespass, Not Fraud: The Need for New Sentencing Guidelines in CFAA Cases," that since the language is so vague in the act, you could be punished in a way that doesn't reflect the crime you committed.
