The CFAA exists to make sure that nobody can use computers and the internet to have any power over even tyrannical authorities.

CFAA and the DMCA are some of the worst, most authoritarian laws ever created, and they exist to do nothing other ensure a system where being rich enough to afford lawyers means you don't have to do anything else.

Use default passwords like an idiot and someone uses their autofill? They're the criminal, not you.

Let people just change the account number in the address bar and switch accounts with zero authorization or authentication? They're the criminal, not you. (Bank of America literally did this.)

Have open access for students to download papers and one of them uses it to download all of them? They're the criminal, not you. (RIP Aaron Swartz)

I support jury nullification for the CFAA and DMCA and so should everyone reading this.
