Next week, a panel of the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals
(Thomas, Reinhardt, and McKeown) will hear oral argument in the
second round of United States v. Nosal. This time around, the
main question in the case is whether and when accessing an
account using a shared password is an unauthorized access under

barrier. You can read all the briefs in the case here ...
