Court rules that IP cloaking to access blocked sites violates law

http://news.cnet.com/8301-1023_3-57...loaking-to-access-blocked-sites-violates-law/

Disguising an IP address or using a proxy server to visit Web sites you've been banished from is a violation of the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act, a federal judge has ruled.

U.S. District Court Judge Charles R. Breyer for the Northern District of California issued the ruling Friday in a copyright infringement lawsuit between Craigslist and data harvester 3Taps.

The legal dispute began in July 2012 when Craigslist sent a cease-and-desist letter to apartment listing app PadMapper, claiming it was violating the site's terms of service by scraping apartment rental information from the online classifieds site.

It's not like these laws won't affect Canadians.

The Americans want the world to comply with their laws/regulations, Canada usually falls in line with US demands.

More countries need to tell the US gov't to go fuck itself.

We need a Liberal government, Plommeur.

to bring balance to the force.

Obi-Wan has forseen it.


(I wouldn't mind seeing Justin Trudeau as Prime Minister - with NDP as official opposition)

 

[PuckOff]

I think Justin Trudeau will be an absolute lock when election time rolls around.

You know, for a place that's all about freedom and rights, we sure do have a lot of laws and rules and regualtions.....

But I guess it could be worse...

 

[reno cool]

freedom and rights refers to freedom and rights of capitalist to exploit the public. We need to understand the language they are using

 

[Cami]

Still a bunch of malarkey.

Plom do you know what the US prison population was when I was born?

Real smart.

I don't but I do know I get labeled as anti American for pointing out embarrassing truths about the nation.

America prides itself as the leader of the free world, and I say other nations but especially Canada should try to be less like the USA and more like fisrt world European nations with respect to how they treat their own citizens.

America leads itself, the rest of the industrialized world has things pretty well figured out.

Do you know that visitors in Italy are eligible for emergency medical care?

It was less than 1/10 of what it is now. In 34 years it's grown 10x.
