=== Open questions === Feel free to suggest brief answers, pointers to where this is discussed. ; Does 'authentication' make sense as the basis for such a law? : As opposed to other corollaries re: trespass and access. Compare historical ways of handling these issues. : Is feigning authentication fraud? (when simply making up a new account; impersonating yourself, and not someone else) ; Where do the following edge cases fall? * 'sockpuppeting' authentication where it's assumed you have one-account-per-user? : This is rarely prevented clearly. : Not the worst thing to do; it's not the same as impersonating a real person * Circumventing the auth process altogether? : This tends to be pretty bad. It's clearly defeating the system, when it requires finding a subtle exploit : Can be less bad when a system has an auth system but doesn't use it (e.g. it's never checked) ; What's the ECTF doing? Who could provide oversight? : (cf [http://www.technewsdaily.com/16445-fix-hacking-laws.html fix-hacking-laws essay] and Robert Graham's comment) ; Do MIT and other tech institutions care? : See [http://swartz-review.mit.edu/node/284 this question] on MIT's Swartz Review site.
