Posted by michael on from the breaking-and-entering dept.

SDuane writes "Orin S. Kerr, Associate Professor at George Washington University Law School, has written an article trying to answer the question "what does it mean to 'access' a computer? And when is access 'unauthorized'?" It's long, but interesting and he's looking for feedback."

    Hope they didn't use a short int for that counter variable.

      THey said it was a long article. And this is slashdot. Therefore, I deduce that nobody is reading it.

      Maybe the slashdot effect is all a lie...?

    holy shit.

    the next time i have something insightful to write, i'll fscking spell check and grammar and english check it.

    sorry about that... i'm at work, and i got pulled away to do something, and i just hit submit without reviewing it.

    my apologies. Hell, i'll rewrite it in my response to the lawyer who wrote the article. And, i'll actually cut and past from the RFCs to prove my point.
