Have you seen this one yet? Give me a break!

"The Journal of Technology Law and Policy has a good article on computer security and privacy. If you ignore the more 
metaphorical crap at the beginning of the article, the author marches through some laws that apply to the Internet and 
shows how they apply and why his way of deciding what kind of access to a computer breaks the law and what kinds don't 
is better. (Its based on property and expectations of privacy.) It's interesting to see the computer security from a 
lawyer's point of view. Especially interesting are his claims that using nmap is illegal, despite the VC3 v. Moulton 
case."
