The Computer Fraud and Abuse Act (CFAA) is a U.S. law that addresses computer-related offenses, particularly regarding unauthorized access to computer systems and data. Among the options you provided, the CFAA would most likely protect against the behavior of a teenager illegally downloading a song if it involves unauthorized access to a computer system or website that is protected.
However, it is important to note that the CFAA primarily targets hacking and unauthorized access to computers, rather than copyright infringement issues, which are typically addressed under copyright law.
To break down the options further:
- A teenager illegally downloading a song: This may not be directly addressed by the CFAA; it is more a copyright issue.
- A person in another state accessing their bank accounts: This is generally permitted if they have access rights to their account, and would not typically fall under CFAA violations.
- A company advertising online to children under 13: This relates more to regulations like COPPA (Children's Online Privacy Protection Act) rather than CFAA.
- A person posting negative comments on their Facebook page: This is protected under free speech and would not be addressed by the CFAA.
In summary, while the CFAA primarily addresses unauthorized access, it doesn't neatly apply to copyright infringement or the other behaviors listed.
