Good luck with winning that lawsuit. Overturning that law would literally make hacking for profit a free for all.

It would be ironic if the ACLU were to be hacked, just to show why the law is in place.

You are suggesting, maybe, that there is no more hacking for profit any more..?

Corporations have always had a lot of sway in writing laws, but this is ludicrous - corporate policies have effectively become law.

Obviously not suggesting that.

The law in question is "No unauthorized access or entry to computer systems"...

You know a lot of corporations that give authorized access when they screw up? Every scandal or expose is a result of unauthorized access.
