@outersystems @wdormann @0xabad1dea Yes. That is clearly what's happening. You should go try it and you will definitely not experience any consequences.

@JeffGrigg @wdormann @0xabad1dea Sure, you could make that argument in court, but it would be an uphill battle and you would probably lose. Even if you did win, congratulations, you have just set a precedent that will make it more risky, dangerous, and difficult to do any kind of software testing in the future. I don't think that is an outcome that will make people more safe in the long run.

@wdormann @0xabad1dea No. Intention matters when it comes to the CFAA, but the CFAA is not your only potential problem.

@0xabad1dea I spent. bunch of time talking to our lawyers about whether or not it was clear that crimes were happening and the conclusion that I got was "Based on what we know, probably not, but that was just a matter of luck."
