Aaron’s Law Takes Shape | TechCrunch

Aaron’s Law Takes Shape

Digital activist Aaron Swartz took his own life on January 11. Swartz was facing federal hacking charges after being arrested for downloading millions of articles from JSTOR from MIT’s network in excess of his access. Since Swartz’s suicide, activists, scholars and legislators have been at work on reforms to the law under which he was prosecuted—the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act, or CFAA.

Calls to reform the CFAA are not brand new. Villanova law professor (and my former boss) Michael Risch wrote about the CFAA’s “scary” implications in 2011. Risch wrote that, in his opinion, the most accurate interpretation of the CFAA was “Anyone using a website who starts using information from it in a way that the web operator clearly does not desire could theoretically be criminally liable. Now that’s scary.”

That is essentially the scenario in which Swartz and Andrew Auernheimer found themselves. Swartz had access to JSTOR through an account, but exceeded his access level by downloading content in massive quantities. Auernheimer accessed an AT&T login page with a simple exploit that made it spill over 100,000 iPad owners’ email addresses—arguably exceeding authorized access because AT&T only authorized use of the site to actually log in, not to harvest email addresses.

Professor Orin Kerr, a former prosecutor and expert in computer crime law at George Washington University, evaluated the charges against Swartz in a long piece he wrote shortly after his death. Kerr concluded that “the legal charges against Swartz were pretty much legit” and “what Swartz was alleged to have done fits pretty well with the charges that were brought.” (Not all commentators agree.)

Together, Swartz’s suicide, his stature in the activist and tech communities, and perhaps the growing recognition that his prosecution was legally sound, have catalyzed efforts to reform the CFAA. On January 16—just five days after Swartz’s death—Rep. Zoe Lofgren (D-OR) posted a draft bill to revise the CFAA, dubbed “Aaron’s Law,” on Reddit.

Professor Kerr took issue with Lofgren’s bill and made his own initial reform recommendations on January 16, which he followed up with a more thorough proposal on January 20. Notably, Kerr would entirely eliminate liability for “exceeding authorized access”—leaving only liability for the much cleaner scenario of access “without authorization”—and also would drop the law’s civil liability provision. The EFF also marked up Lofgren’s bill with its own clarifications, focusing on assuring that violations of a terms-of-service agreement aren’t a crime.

Jennifer Granick, a scholar and computer crime defense attorney at Stanford’s Center for Internet and Society, addressed Kerr’s proposal in a January 23 post, calling it “a great second step.” However, Granick took issue with Kerr’s definition of “accesses without authorization,” which focused on “circumvent[ing] technological access barriers.” Granick believes this still casts too wide a net, and would catch people who do some sort of circumvention for legitimate reasons, including security researchers or terms-of-service violators. Granick echoes the EFF’s position there, stating that TOS violations must be clearly excluded from the reach of criminal law.

Professor Kerr posted again on January 27, looking to further refine the definition of “accesses without authorization” by polling his readers on whether six hypothetical scenarios should result in criminal liability—a sort of regression testing for legislation.

Rep. Lofgren posted an updated draft of her bill on February 1. The update incorporated many of Kerr’s and EFF’s comments, but both were still quick to pick apart the new text. The EFF wanted more clarity on beneficial circumvention and penalties, and Kerr found flaws in Lofgren’s complex definition of “access without authorization.”

Lofgren has said she plans to introduce Aaron’s Law in Congress soon, but whatever she introduces will be just the first input in a long process. One takeaway from the collaborative drafting process so far is that, despite inviting input from the entire Internet, the most useful and influential comments have come from traditional non-profit advocacy groups and academia. I suspect this is mostly because understanding complex statutes like the CFAA is just hard.

For those interested, Lawrence Lessig is scheduled to give a webcast lecture about Aaron’s Law from Harvard Law School on February 19, and, later the same day, Stanford is holding an event on the CFAA including Jennifer Granick, Brewster Kahle, and Ed Felten.

Zynga’s chief game designer, Brian Reynolds, resigns | VentureBeat

Zynga’s chief game designer, Brian Reynolds, resigns

January 29, 2013 5:30 PM

Brian Reynolds has a booming laugh, but it won’t be heard in the halls of Zynga anymore. The company’s chief game designer has resigned, according to games news site Polygon.

Zynga has confirmed the departure, which is a blow to Zynga since the company has suffered a brain drain in the past year as high-level executives move on to greener pastures. It started in August after the company was hit by weak second-quarter results and chief operating officer John Schappert resigned.

Apple iWatch: Is It About Time?

Apple iWatch: Is It About Time?

January 18, 2013 | Filed Under » Consumer Goods, Technology

Let’s be honest. Rumors about new or upcoming Apple products would be overpriced at a dime a dozen. Yet speculation grows about an Apple (Nasdaq:AAPL) iWatch. If you think that this is one of those little rumors that somebody dreamed up to make for interesting reading, think again. Some of the more notable Apple rumor mills are reporting its possible existence, and many reputable publishers such as AppleInsider and the New York Times have published iWatch stories.

Computerworld notes that, according to the latest rumors, Apple and Intel are working on a Bluetooth smartwatch, which could be introduced sometime in the first half of 2013. Website 9to5Mac mentions Apple patents that may indicate its interest in the watch. One patent of note integrates features into an iPod Nano-like wristwatch. Other sources point to patents that could be a signal of things to come. Still others explain that the patents could be filed for any number of products or exist to fend off patent trolls. One has to wonder, however, why Apple would take on a project which seems, on the surface, small compared to the TV or cellphone industries.

It’s been a scant couple of weeks since the Sprint Galaxy Nexus saw an update to Android 4.2. Today it’s got another update rolling out. This one brings things to Android 4.2.1 build JRO03U.L700GA02) and includes the following:

• Redesigned camera interface and new Photo Sphere feature (a 360-degree panorama mode)
• Notifications Shade accessible by swiping top screen edge downwards; swipe down with two fingers to view notifications; tap the notification to expand and take action on it.
• Lockscreen widgets to access certain apps without unlocking the screen; sidescroll right for camera or left for other widgets (time and weather, gmail, etc.)

You can snag the update over the air (hit your settings>about menu for that), or download manually from Google and apply  it that way. (If you need help with that, hit up this thread in our forums.)

Note that this update is for the Sprint Galaxy Nexus and not the Verizon Galaxy Nexus. Repeat: Verizon’s Galaxy Nexus has not been updated. Still.

What’s behind the bull market – Jan. 31, 2013

What’s behind the bull market

By Ben Rooney @CNNMoneyInvest January 31, 2013: 5:04 AM ET

Click for more market data.

NEW YORK (CNNMoney)

U.S. stocks are flirting with all-time highs, climbing to levels not seen since before the financial crisis.

The Dow Jones industrial average is hovering just below 14,000. The S&P 500 recently broke above 1,500 and is inching closer to a new record. Both indexes have risen to their highest levels since October 2007.

But stock prices cannot go up forever, and some analysts warn that the bull market is nearing an end, just as many individual investors are returning to the market.

“The market environment is likely to get tougher in February and March as investors wrestle with the impact of fiscal tightening on the economy,” said Russ Koesterich, BlackRock’s global chief investment strategist.

What’s behind the rally

There are a number of factors at play, including signs of improvement in Europe and sustained growth in China. But analysts say the Federal Reserve’s stimulus moves have been the main driver.

The current bull market dates back to March 2009, but the rally really gained momentum after the Fed launched its second round of quantitative easing, or QE2, in 2010.

The bond-buying strategy, now in its third iteration, has coincided with a broad improvement in economic data and record profits for U.S. corporations.

But the rally is as much about what did not happen as what did.

The U.S. economy did not fall off the fiscal cliff, and lawmakers have delayed a showdown over the debt ceiling until mid-May.

The eurozone did not collapse under the weight of its crushing debt, thanks largely to aggressive moves by the European Central Bank.

And the Chinese economy appears headed for a soft landing, easing worries about demand in the world’s second largest economy.

“Together, these things basically assured a risk-on rally,” said Quincy Krosby, market strategist with Prudential Financial.

Investors were also drawn back into the market by attractive valuations, which is a fancy way of saying stocks are cheap.

Since the market bottomed in 2009, many large investors have been scooping up shares of companies that were beaten down in 2008. Many bank stocks, for example, were trading well below book value, which is the theoretical price their assets are worth minus their liabilities.

Bank of America (BAC, Fortune 500) more than doubled in price last year as investors flocked to shares of companies in the financial services sector. JPMorgan Chase (JPM, Fortune 500), Goldman Sachs (GS, Fortune 500) and Morgan Stanley (MS, Fortune 500) also bounced back.

Is now the time for investors to jump in?

The good news is that stocks still seem relatively attractive. The stocks in the S&P 500 are trading at roughly 14 times expected earnings for this year, which is reasonable.

But the trends that have supported stocks up until now are changing, and investors should be prepared to play defense, said Doug Cote, chief market strategist at ING Investment Management.

Cote pointed to corporate earnings, the life blood of stock returns, which are not growing as much as they had been.

At the same time, the latest economic data have been mixed, including a disappointing report on fourth-quarter GDP released Wednesday.

In a counter-intuitive twist, the weak GDP report could end up boosting stocks in the short term, since many investors believe it will lead to more Fed stimulus, said Krosby.

Wednesday afternoon, the Fed confirmed that it will continue its bond buying program. Still, it remains to be seen how the market will fare once the central bank stops buying bonds.

Meanwhile, after shunning stocks for the past few years, individual investors have started stepping back in.

“People are panicking that they missed the bull market and they’re going to get in come hell or high water,” said Cote. “But this is not a good time, the party is starting to be over.”

Cote said the increased participation by individual investors is “a good thing,” since they had been underexposed. But he warned that the market could be headed for a pullback.

“I think this thing comes back to Earth a lot faster than it went up,” he said.

Authy Brings Two-Factor Authentication To Self-Hosted WordPress Sites | TechCrunch

Authy Brings Two-Factor Authentication To Self-Hosted WordPress Sites

Frederic Lardinois

posted 20 mins ago

If you run your own WordPress site, chances are you are using a pretty secure password to keep hackers from posting random stories to your blog. Still, even the best password isn’t as good as using Gmail-style two-factor authentication, but unless you are a programmer, chances are you don’t have the expertise to make this happen. Authy, which offers two-factor authentication as a service, is hoping to solve this by launching a WordPress plugin today that replaces the standard WordPress login with a more secure two-factor authentication login system.

Authy, just like Google Authenticator, for example, generates a new token for you every 20 seconds (you can use its mobile app or get an SMS with this code) and in order to log in, you need both your regular password and this 7-digit code from Authy, making it virtually impossible for a hacker to get into your account without also having access to your phone. This also renders standard phishing and key-logger attacks pointless, as the code constantly changes.

Installing the plugin, which is now available in the WordPress.org plugin repository, just takes a few clicks once you have signed up for an Authy account. As Authy founder and CEO Daniel Palacio told me earlier this week, his company is obviously an API-based service at heart (though it is also branching out into other online security markets now, too). It was pretty obvious to the team, however, that it took a considerable amount of expertise to integrate Authy into services like self-hosted WordPress sites, so they decided to launch this easy to install version for WordPress now. Authy plans to launch similar plugins for other service in the near future, too.

The basic Authy service is available for free, as long as you have fewer than 1,000 users and don’t need to log in more than 500 times per month. Larger sites will need to subscribe to Authy’s premium service, starting at $49 per month, but for most WordPress installs, the free tier should work just fine.
