United States v. Andrew "Weev" Auernheimer
3rd Circuit Court of Appeals; Case No. 13-1816
Argument(s)
The Fifth Amendment’s due process clause requires a narrow interpretation of “without authorization” under the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act (CFAA). The District Court’s finding that venue was proper exceeds constitutional limitations and invites prosecutorial forum-shopping.
