said by Anonymous1 :Therefore legislation needs to make clear that a breach of contract (TOS) is not a violation of CFAA. In addition, as I have stated before there are STATE anti-hacking statutes as well as the federal anti-hacking statutes.
There are two different issues at play here.
On the one hand, from a user and practical standpoint, faking your name, birthday, etc. to use a web service isn't inherently illegal. Just as you can decide to write a book under a pseudonym, I'd call this just a reasonable practice giving all the security risks that exist today.
On the other hand, if you do something that causes harm or damage to a government office, a large corporation or even a private individual, if it is worth their while, they will look at every possible statute and try to charge you with that crime, using any case that they find as a legal precedent. The "hacking" laws were not designed for this, and lets hope that these laws are clarified soon.
However, in many ways this is the same issue as what happens when you film a police officer not fulfilling his duties. In all likelihood he'll arrest you, and if there was audio recorded, depending on the state, he'll try to get the district attorney to charge you with violating the wiretapping law. Of course, that wasn't what that law was designed for.
The result is that nothing is 100% safe from prosecution, including many sexual acts between consenting adults in the privacy of their own home. That doesn't stop them from doing it or make me worry about them. Most of the laws just haven't caught up yet with the times we live in.
