You just made an argument that is directly contradicted by the text of the bill.

    ‘(B) EXCLUSION.— Such term does not 
    23 include information pertaining to efforts to gain 
    24 unauthorized access to a system or network of 
    25 a government or private entity that solely in
    1 volve violations of consumer terms of service or 
    2 consumer licensing agreements and do not oth-
    3 erwise constitute unauthorized access.

Except that Aaron Swartz was not charged with unauthorized access "solely" because of his violation of a TOU or EULA.

Mind you, I'm not saying the previous poster's claim is the best argument against CISPA, but that your claim of "directly contradicted" is false.

[tptacek]

No, I was responding to the "unauthorized access" point in the parent comment. Since you can't be charged with a crime under CISPA at all, I'm not sure how your comment isn't a non sequitur.

You can be charged with a crime under existing law, and CISPA can be used to collect evidence for that charge.
