Inspired by a movement on Reddit, Aaron's Law may be the lynchpin that finally brings sanity to the overzealous and overreaching prosecution of hacking-related incidents. It is named after Aaron Swartz, whose suicide after being persecuted by the US DOJ was one of the reasons that I started the Gibson Index.

From The Verge:

[CFAA]'s vague definitions of "unauthorized access" and "exceeding access" to a computer have allowed for broad interpretations on what a computer crime actually is.

...

[Aaron's Law]'s intent is "refocusing the law away from common computer and internet activity and toward damaging hacks,"
