A federal appeals court ruling means that millions of people could be considered “federal criminals” for sharing passwords for services like Netflix and HBO Go.
The U.S. Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals decision came last week in the case of a former employee at a headhunter firm, who used his former assistant’s login information to log onto the company’s database as he prepared to launch a competing firm.
The former employee was eventually charged with conspiracy and theft of trade secrets. He was sentenced to prison time, probation, and nearly $900,000 in restitution and fines.
The man’s conviction was based on the law that makes it a crime to “knowingly defraud and access a protected computer without authorization.”
One of the judges in the appeals court said the new decision also makes “consensual password sharing” a prosecutable offense, which loses sight of the anti-hacking purpose that the law was really intended for in the first place.
The next time you go to concert don’t drink coffee for a while afterward. Based on a new study, it could hurt your hearing.
Scientists suspected certain substances hurt the ear’s ability to recover, so they exposed a group of female albino guinea pigs to 110-dB “pure tone sound”, which is equivalent of a rock concert, for a full hour on two occasions.
Half were given 25mg of caffeine for 15 days, while the other half went without. A day after listening to the sound, both groups showed similar hearing impairment. But after eight days, the caffeine-free group’s hearing had recovered almost completely, whereas the caffeine group still had difficulty.
Their research confirmed that exposure to loud noise coupled with daily consumption of 25mg of caffeine had a clear negative impact on hearing recovery.
Just try to avoid coffee or soda temporarily after a concert or other noisy encounter.
