The article conveniently leaves out that he was convicted on one count of identify fraud in addition to the CFAA count: http://www.wired.com/threatlevel/2012/11/att-hacker-found-gu..., by a jury. If it had just been the CFAA count, he would've gotten just a misdemeanor.
You conveniently leave out that "identity fraud" was setting his browser User Agent string to say "iPad". Which Safari does, via the "Develop" menu, right out of the box. This distinction is meaningless and laughable.
shit so when I use the '-U' on wget I am also committing identity fraud? Did gnu set me up for this? If I call something a spade which clearly not a spade, am I committing identity fraud? I am so confused now.
