There's an "intent" behind doing it to circumvent a known block that the judge ruled illegal. See the EFF's write-up of the ruling, https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2013/08/court-rules-accessing-public-website-isnt-crime-hiding-your-ip-address-could-be. The CFAA is a horrible law which needs to be rewritten or scrapped. -- Andrew http://tpo.is/contact pgp 0x6B4D6475 -- tor-talk mailing list - [email protected] To unsusbscribe or change other settings go to https://lists.torproject.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/tor-talk
