Sens. Introduce 'Aaron's Law' 'Fix' to CFAA
Source: B&C
A pair of Democratic senators are introducing a bill that would reform the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act (CFAA), the law under which the late Demand Progress co-founder Aaron Swartz was prosecuted.
"Aaron's Law," backed by Rep. Zoe Lofgren (D-Calif.) and Sen. Ron Wyden (R-Ore.) would change the law so that it was no longer a federal crime to violate terms of service agreements, website notices, contracts or employment agreements with private companies, or to access information in "unexpected ways" by those with a legal right to that info.

No, Wyden is actually a Democrat. Broadcasting & Cable will fix that typo eventually.
