As regular readers know, I’ve been writing, blogging, and litigating about the scope of the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act (CFAA) for over twenty years. The Supreme Court is hearing a big CFAA case this fall, Van Buren v. United States. I figured this was an important case to chime in on, so today I submitted this amicus brief, on my own behalf, in the case.
Bonus: It discusses an old Volokh Conspiracy blog post and covers one of my favorite 1980s movies.
