Changing IP address to access public website ruled violation of US law

http://j.mp/14PWKGh  (Ars Technica)

   "Changing your IP address or using proxy servers to access public
    websites you've been forbidden to visit is a violation of the Computer
    Fraud and Abuse Act (CFAA), a judge ruled Friday in a case involving
    Craigslist and 3Taps."
