  • The Next Generation Communications Privacy Act
    ARTICLE THE NEXT GENERATION COMMUNICATIONS PRIVACY ACT ORIN S. KERR† In 1986, Congress enacted the Electronic Communications Privacy Act (ECPA) to regulate government access to Internet communications and records. ECPA is widely regarded as outdated, and ECPA reform is now on the Congressional agenda. At the same time, existing reform proposals retain the structure of the 1986 Act and merely tinker with a few small aspects of the statute. This Article offers a thought experiment about what might happen if Congress were to repeal ECPA and enact a new privacy statute to replace it. The new statute would look quite different from ECPA because overlooked changes in Internet technology have dramatically altered the assumptions on which the 1986 Act was based. ECPA was designed for a network world with high storage costs and only local network access. Its design reflects the privacy threats of such a network, including high privacy protection for real-time wiretapping, little protection for noncontent records, and no attention to particularity or jurisdiction. Today’s Internet reverses all of these assumptions. Storage costs have plummeted, leading to a reality of almost total storage. Even U.S.-based services now serve a predominantly † Fred C.

  • Data Mining, Dog Sniffs, and the Fourth Amendment
    DATA MINING, DOG SNIFFS, AND THE FOURTH AMENDMENT An algorithm, designed to probe a database containing all personal data available to the government, sees that you have recently bought some fertilizer and a large truck, and that you have emailed someone with a .lb (Lebanon) email address. Seeing this red flag pop up on his computer, a government agent pulls your bank records, your Amazon and iTunes purchases, the domain names that you’ve recently visited, and a list of everyone you have recently phoned or emailed. Inspecting all of these records, the agent determines that you were merely asking your Lebanese uncle for advice on expanding your farm and makes a notation in his database. (He is also able to determine your religious affiliation, that you have an affinity for Steven Seagal movies, and that you have been having an affair, but is less interested in all of that.) This example of “data mining” is the future, if not the present, of law enforcement.1 Data mining both offers enormous possibilities for law enforcement and national security — in the scenario above, the fertilizer and truck could have been intended for a far less innocuous use — and radically undermines the notion that one’s interests, affilia- tions, and legal activities can be kept private from the government. Such concerns have led to significant public debate over the proper scope of surveillance, prompted in particular by Edward Snowden’s recent disclosures. Yet despite the obvious privacy implications of data mining, tradi- tional Fourth Amendment doctrine offers relatively little to help con- strain such activity.

  • Interpreting Access and Authorization in Computer Misuse Statutes
    ARTICLES CYBERCRIME'S SCOPE: INTERPRETING "ACCESS" AND "AUTHORIZATION" IN COMPUTER MISUSE STATUTES ORIN S. KERR* The federal government, all fifty states, and dozens of foreign countries have enacted computer crime statutes that prohibit "unauthorizedaccess" to computers. No one knows what it means to "access" a computer, however, or when access becomes "unauthorized." The few courts that have construed these terms have offered widely varying interpretations. Several recent decisions suggest that any breach of contract renders an access unauthorized, broadly criminalizing contract law on the Internet. In this Article, Professor Orin Kerr explains the origins of unauthorized access statutes, and examines why the early beliefs that such statutes articulated a clear standard have proven remarkably naive. He then shows how and why the courts have construed these statutes in an overly broad manner that threatens to criminalize a surprising range of innocuous conduct involving com- puters. Finally, Professor Kerr offers a normative proposal for interpreting "access" and "authorization." Courts should reject a contract-based theory of authorization,and should limit the scope of unauthorized access statutes to circum- vention of code-based restrictions on computer privileges. This proposed interpre- tation best mediates between securing privacy and protecting the liberty interests of Internet users. It also mirrors criminal law's traditional treatment of consent defenses, and avoids possible constitutional difficulties that may arise under the broader constructions that courts have recently favored. INTRODUCTION Justice Holmes once noted that when a legislature enacts a new crime, "it is reasonable that a fair warning should be given to the world in language that the common world will understand, of what the law intends to do if a certain line is passed.

Kerr* This Essay argues that Internet law presently suffers from a tendency to regulate cyberspace based on form rather thanfunc- tion. In areassuch as free speech, patent law, and privacy law, judges and legislatureshave regulatedInternet code basedon what it is, rather than what it does. The result has been remarkably broad rules that extend far greater legal protection to code in cyberspace than its equivalents receive in the physical world. The author suggests that greaterfocus on function can permit more accurateapplications of traditionallegal doctrines to the Internet. I.

If you view a Seurat painting from just a few inches away, every bit of canvas looks the same.

    Cybercrime and the Law: Computer Fraud and Abuse Act (CFAA) and the 116th Congress September 21, 2020 Congressional Research Service https://crsreports.congress.gov R46536 SUMMARY R46536 Cybercrime and the Law: Computer Fraud and September 21, 2020 Abuse Act (CFAA) and the 116th Congress Peter G. Berris The Computer Fraud and Abuse Act (CFAA), 18 U.S.C. § 1030, is a civil and criminal Legislative Attorney cybercrime law prohibiting a variety of computer-related conduct. Although sometimes described as an anti-hacking law, the CFAA is much broader in scope. Indeed, it prohibits seven categories of conduct including, with certain exceptions and conditions: 1. Obtaining national security information through unauthorized computer access and sharing or retaining it; 2. Obtaining certain types of information through unauthorized computer access; 3. Trespassing in a government computer; 4. Engaging in computer-based frauds through unauthorized computer access; 5. Knowingly causing damage to certain computers by transmission of a program, information, code, or command; 6. Trafficking in passwords or other means of unauthorized access to a computer; 7. Making extortionate threats to harm a computer or based on information obtained through unauthorized access to a computer. Since the original enactment of the CFAA in 1984, technology and the human relationship to it have continued to evolve. Although Congress has amended the CFAA on numerous occasions to respond to new conditions, the rapid pace of technological advancement continues to present novel legal issues under the statute. For example, with increasing computerization has come a corresponding proliferation of Terms of Service (ToS) agreements—contractual restrictions on computer use.
