F5 is a special case here because it is the exact same action that a law-abiding person does. The reason I'm stressing the F5 case is because saying "Hey you pressed F5 with this motive, so you go to jail" is equivalent t

I don't know about you, but criminalizing the act of pressing F5 with any intent seems firmly on the way to Aaron Swartz-like cases to me. What if you are just fed up of waiting for a site to reload and press F5 a number of times? An

Why is there such an exception at all? If there is a list of banned substances and they are found, it shouldn't really matter if they were prescribed by a doctor or not, they could still aid performance (which is why they were banned,
