"Valle was also charged with violating the CFAA for accessing a police database to look up information about people without a valid law enforcement purpose, in violation of NYPD policy."

I find it odd that the prosecutors decided to go with a computer fraud charge for this crime, aren't there any laws that would prohibit this action regardless of method used? If he chose to lookup paper files on unrelated people, would he be immune to prosecution?

I'm sorry that would break my employers computer policy on copyrights

Weird stuff. eff.org delivers a 403 also but https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2015/12/loading-screen-game-pa... works.

Edit: doesn't work anymore too.

Same for me, and it worked fine maybe an hour ago. Server issue it seems.

Probably: working now from Germany
