Ironically the biggest supporters of the current iteration of the CFAA are those you&#x27;d least expect. The currently-extant grey area allows them to target little guys and threaten them with spectacular, life-destroying threats, while also allowing them to abuse and&#x2F;or ignore the law because they know that it&#x27;s very unlikely another big entity will care enough to choose to litigate the issue to a conclusion (a process which often takes the better part of the decade).<p>If the CFAA were not selectively enforced, the internet landscape would look very different. Search engines like Google never would&#x27;ve been able to exist. Who can quantify what we&#x27;ve lost because a big corporate interest threatened a small innovator with jail time and financial ruin if they didn&#x27;t stop causing a problem for BigCorp&#x27;s business, which actually turns out being a pretty good summary of Aaron&#x27;s case.
