08/28/2009 162 DECISION ON DEFENDANT'S F.R.CRIM.P. 29(c) MOTION by Judge George H.
Wu as to Defendant Lori Drew (1). The question in the present motion under Federal
Rule of Criminal Procedure ("F.R.Crim.P.") 29(c) is whether an intentional breach of
an Internet website's terms of service, without more, is sufficient to constitute a
misdemeanor violation of the CFAA; and, if so, would the statute, as so interpreted,
survive constitutional challenges on the grounds of vagueness and related doctrines.
The Defendant's motion under F.R.Crim.P. 29(c) 96 is GRANTED. (gk) (Entered:
