I may have misunderstood the article, but hasn't it been determined in courts that the current version of the CFAA doesn't criminalize ToS breaches? I thought the article title was referring to a proposed change to the act.

Edit: when I posted the article, I added the word [Soon] to the title.




Yes, to my knowledge so far courts have held that breaching the ToS is not a violation of the CFAA.

The proposed bill, as written, would change that. I think the interjection into the title is accurate, and makes the title less hyperbolic.
