I don't know if anyone has posted this yet as I can't find it.

A new proposed law from the Justice Department to make it a criminal offense to violate a ToS.

"The Justice Department claims to have an interest in enforcing Terms of Use and computer use policies under the CFAA, but its examples mostly consist of cases in which the conduct described has already been criminalized by statutes other than the CFAA. Further, my proposed statutory fix (see the second proposal in my testimony) would preserve the government's ability to prosecute the remaining cases DOJ mentions while not raising the civil liberties problems of the current statute." - Orin Kerr
