Default LinkedIn falls foul of the Electronic Frontier Foundation

Wants courts to enforce its computer use policies

Business networking site LinkedIn is having a go at convincing a US court that anyone who abuses its computer use policy is a hacker and should be locked up for a few decades.

LinkedIn does not like automated scripts which access public information on its website, and it wants these to count as felony “hacking” under the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act, a 1986 federal law meant to criminalize breaking into private computer systems to access non-public information.
