That's not a proposal for a law. I'm not arguing about how the law ought to work. For better or worse, that's a description of how the legal system in the US works RIGHT NOW. And yes, it does enrich a lot of lawyers. Look up the CFAA cases, for a great set of example of how these laws can explode in this exact domain -- people charged with digital trespass who bypassed no or minimal technical measures. And it doesn't feel good either in most of those cases. To be frank, though, if this gets applied to Google, it will feel pretty good.
