Um, yeah. That's exactly the law[1] I am referring to. That's why I linked to it before and why I'll link to it again. Go read it. Because the rest of your comment is just plain ignorant, and please understand: I don't mean that as an insult. You may mean well, but it's really counterproductive to make up your mind about something while remaining untethered to reality.

- AnthonyMouse 14y agoThe only place "and with intent" appears in the linked statute is when it makes up the phrase "and with intent to defraud." I'm not seeing how an intention to post articles on the internet would defraud anyone, so how is possible intent to infringe copyright going to satisfy a requirement for intent to defraud? Does the CFAA have some non-standard definition of "defraud" that I'm not aware of that would encompass copyright infringement?
