[Advocacy Advisors] Demand progress urging reform of CFAA

[Stephen LaPorte]

Hello all,

Demand Progress has launched a campaign to reform the Computer Fraud and
Abuse Act ("CFAA"). Rep. Zoe Lofgren introduced a bill titled "Aaron's Law"
that would decriminalize parts of CFAA. Below is some background
information on the issue.
