Greetings All,
"First Time User, First Time Reader"
As for this issue, I have done some research into the matter and looked up the all familar "Fraud and Related Activity in Connection with Computers" 18 U.S.C 1030. Do to space length I will only post this clause from Section A, Sub-section 5,A,i which states:
Whoever - "knowingly causes the transmission of a program, information, code, or command, and as a result of such conduct, intentionally causes damage without authorization, to a protected computer;" will be subjected to this law.
Therefore this is the question:
Does the "Audio Disc" contain coding which fries the computer (IE: iMac)? [Strong Case]
Or do iMac's lock-up because of the unknown format of the "Audio Disk" (basically then this would be a hardware problem)? [Weak Case]
At any rate, as we all know with our law system, "Anyone can sue anyone for anything."
Good luck on the case!
