This is America. Schwarz was not prosecuted for his crimes but for his failure to monetize them.

I’ve said this before and I’m more convinced of this now: the cfaa is unsalvagable and must be completely repealed/scrapped. All of it. No half measures.

It does nothing to stop what matters: corporations or nation states. Horrible corporations like LinkedIn try to use it. Having the CFAA is literally worse than not having any laws about this. Not only must WE repeal it, the US must go around the world helping people understand that other countries must not enact or must scrap such laws.
