What it requires

  • Do not obtain the use of another person's computer time, computer system, program, or network with reckless disregard that the use is unauthorized.
  • Expect exposure to scale with the value of the computer time or service taken, from a class B misdemeanor under $250 to a class B felony at $25,000 or more.

These lines are LexLint's reading of the law's text.

Legal information, not legal advice. This is LexLint's own research summary of a public legal source, and it creates no attorney-client relationship. For decisions that matter, consult qualified counsel in the relevant jurisdiction. About LexLint

A person commits theft of services if the person obtains the use of computer time, a computer system, a computer program, a computer network, or any part of a computer system or network, with reckless disregard that the use by that person is unauthorized.

Theft of services obtained through unauthorized computer use is graded under Alaska's general theft-degree statutes by the value of the services obtained: a class B felony at $25,000 or more, a class C felony from $750 up to $25,000, a class A misdemeanor from $250 up to $750, and a class B misdemeanor under $250.

The codified text's history note names ch. 166, SLA 1978, as the section's original enactment, amended by ch. 79, SLA 1984 and ch. 114, SLA 1984, but the note states no day, and no day on which the section came into force has been located.
