Ninth Circus: We'll just make a sweeping ruling that covers everything. What's the worst that could happen, right?

Yeah, so they will make a felon of some little guy who shares a password, but won’t prosecute Hillary for being reckless with national security?

The headline is a complete and total fraud. This is not about password sharing.
This is about unauthorized use of a password. This cannot be extended to things such as a spouse sharing a password with a spouse.

Yeah, and Obamacare could not have possibly been a tax either.

Yeah once you read the article the context is different than the headline.

This is Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals bill NCCOA-12345.

Akin to HR-12346, or S-12347.

Once convicted an jailed they’ll probably get HBO for free and not have to hack a password.

A new federal court ruling could make sharing your passwords for subscription services -- covering everything from Netflix to HBO GO -- a federal crime punishable by prison time, according to a judge who opposed the decision.

Well, except for Hillary Clinton and her minions.

No reasonable prosecutor would prefer charges against Her Thighness.

Book review for “three felonies a day”

“The average professional in this country wakes up in the morning, goes to work, comes home, eats dinner, and then goes to sleep, unaware that he or she has likely committed several federal crimes that day. Why? The answer lies in the very nature of modern federal criminal laws, which have exploded in number but also become impossibly broad and vague.

In Three Felonies a Day, Harvey A. Silverglate reveals how federal criminal laws have become dangerously disconnected from the English common law tradition and how prosecutors can pin arguable federal crimes on any one of us, for even the most seemingly innocuous behavior.

The volume of federal crimes in recent decades has increased well beyond the statute books and into the morass of the Code of Federal Regulations, handing federal prosecutors an additional trove of vague and exceedingly complex and technical prohibitions to stick on their hapless targets.”
