Address proposed 'Aaron's Law'; changes to anti-hacking statute. R.I.P. Aaron Swartz.

Created by T.P. on February 02, 2013

Aaron Swartz committed suicide on Jan. 11th of 2013. I am asking for our current administration to address the proposed bill by Rep. Zoe Lofgren and Sen. Ron Wyden. 'Aaron's Law' basically alters to our current Computer Fraud and Abuse Act, address and restricts the overreach of prosecutors, and defines the differences between criminal hacking and unauthorized access.

Rep. Zoe Lofgren's draft:
