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.
