That law is pretty bad, but I wonder whether it is the worst law in technology. Can anyone think of a contender?

- AnthonyMouse 14y agoDMCA 1201 is definitely on the short list too. But I don't think either of them is strictly as bad as the CFAA. At least with the DMCA you have some general idea when you might be violating it. Nobody even really even seems to know exactly what the CFAA prohibits, and even the narrow readings make felonies out of stuff that really ought not to be that serious.
