Anytime there is any law about anything you can say that it's ultimately backed "using state violence". That's just silly. As silly as the notion that there shouldn't be any rules and limits whatsoever about what you can do with your computer.

Hard disagree. There shouldn't be any rules or limits whatsoever about what I can do with my computer, and especially ON my computer, as long as the thing I'm doing doesn't break other laws (CFAA, CSAM, etc).

This is, after all, Hacker News.

Obviously, we are saying the same thing: there are (and should be) laws that limit what you can do on your computer, and within those limits, you can do what you want.
