This is fantastic news, and a great step toward a more "sane" set of internet laws.
I just hope that this trend can continue and can sufficiently bury the idea that accessing public (as in without any kind of authentication method) information on the internet should not ever be a violation of any laws when done without malicious intent (a DoS attack should still obviously be illegal).
- sintaxi 9y agoThis isn't a step toward anything. This is a ruling of laws as they exist today - and an obvious one at that.
- Klathmon 9y agoYou say that, but the first time this exact case went to court it was ruled in oracle's favor... The CFAA and DMCA are written so that they can be applied to an extremely wide set of situations, and getting some concrete examples of things that aren't violations can help push back and contain what are.
