facepalm. You are going to put all of a businesses more sensitive/proprietary data in the blockchain. Why? Also, blockchain is the least performant database in the world. When ERP requires most performant database. Why??!!

This is kind of cool. How do you prevent people from running malicious code?

My only concern with projects like Odoo is that open source ERP seems to die off fairly regularly. How robust of a project do you think Odoo is? We'd like to be able to run it for a long while...

I think what he's pushing for is the ability to present any defense that he likes. Under certain statutes, you cannot raise a public interest defense. I believe the Espionage Act is one such statute. You cannot present a defense that is irrelevant to the commission of the crime, and under the Espionage Act it is the release of the information, regardless of intent, that is the crime. See here:

Venue shopping would obviously help him (ie Silicon Valley vs Arlington, Virginia). However, I think what he's pushing for is to be able to raise the illegality of the programs the government was hiding from the public (and lying about before Congress). It is not at all clear that this type of evidence would be allowed, and is pretty important for how a jury would construe his actions.

The Obama Administration has already ramped up CFAA prosecutions. Adding Civil Forfeiture laws would only further incentivize law enforcement to pursue these cases.

Not that it matters. This guy broke the law and nothing happened. He didn't even lose his job.

Exactly. It incorporates by reference statutes from an era where it was actually a huge hurdle to install a listening device. Now every piece of technology is essentially a listening device, amongst many other things.
In addition, it waters down the statute from "intent to defraud" to "willfulness".
Oh by the way, they also want to take all your stuff, regardless of if you're convicted.

The problem is it undermines trust in American technology products in general. If the Snowden revelations were that the United States was bugging Iran, Libya and North Korea and monitoring all their communications, that would be one thing. However, we know now that EVERYONE is under surveillance. Therefore, how do we know they aren't doing this to everyone as well?
