> the Court adopted a “gates-up-or-down” approach: either you are entitled to access the information or you are not.
To me, it sounds like you are entitled to submit a job application or you are not. I don't see how a charge under the CFAA for submitting an application would stick, when they are inviting the public to submit applications.
Nonsense. Using a public form, which is clearly intended to be a public form, is not using a computer without authorization or in excess of authorization.
You can't make someone using your computer a crime just by retroactively deciding that you don't like they way someone used it.
