From the EFF's remark at the bottom of the article:
"Without this change, the government could've prosecuted everyday Americans for violating low-level terms of service violations... In short, everyone would be a criminal, leaving it up to the government to decide when and where to bring down the hammer." Ding-ding-ding-ding-ding! -- Neca eos omnes.
