Changing IP address to access public website ruled violation of US law

Changing your IP address or using proxy servers to access public websites you've been forbidden to visit is a violation of the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act (CFAA), a judge ruled Friday in a case involving Craigslist and 3taps.

Pretty much everything is illegal based on current US law when it comes to accessing or attempting to access computer systems. The law is simply too broad and overreaching.

 

Legality is only relevant if you're caught.

 

Oh, of course. It's not like people are going to read this, and instantly stop ban evading / accessing torrent sites.

 

US laws or just outrages these lil kids be watching to much porn USA horny bastards. Why would they ban IP switching

 

does that mean that in the us law if a person is ban evading from sythe, there braking the law?

if so lets get some nut jobs in court .

 

Yes. Accessing a computer system that you do not have permission to access is against the law. It is so broad that basically anything could be called accessing and thus basically everyone breaks it at some point. It just isn't enforced generally except for highly visible things.

 

This is just like that time I used NLFREEVPN to access European game sites lol restricted from US residents. I'm about that rebel life, ya know?
