If you live in the US and you use a computer or a smartphone, odds are that
you are a felon.
Specifically, you are in violation of the
Computer Fraud and Abuse Act of 1986. All you have to do to qualify is to violate any of the terms and conditions contained in those dozens of software license agreements you've routinely clicked through.
If, for example, you are 17 years old and want to read Seventeen Magazine, you'll need to check a box saying you're over 18. And in so doing, become a felon by lying in defiance of the site's terms. Want to hire a lawyer to sue Netflix? Think again, as doing so would make you a felon by violating the EULA that forbids suing them. Love Safari on your iPad and want to install Safari for Windows on your Windows machine? Felon!
Check out the documentary "Killswitch". It's on Netflix. Yes, it's a rehash of mostly old news, but when you see it all summarized like this it's still an eye-opener.
P.S. Please don't make this thread political. Sure, there are some politicians among the cast of villains, but for the most part they are merely bit players. I don't want to violate the T.O.S., especially now that I know it can get you 35 years in prison.
