Abstract
The Computer Fraud and Abuse Act is a federal law that governs the crime of computer hacking. However, it was written in a time before the internet as we know it existed. Aaron’s Law is the latest proposal aimed at fixing it. Aaron Schwartz, the law’s namesake, tragically committed suicide while being prosecuted for a violation of this law. This Comment argues that Aaron’s Law is a good step forward, but not the overhaul this nation deserves.
