"CFAA offense"

You can catch one of these by logging into your moms netflix account.

If you steal your mom’s password without consent and she argues that you accessed information on the account that you were not authorized to see, maybe.

However the quote on its own is not necessarily true without further qualifications as mentioned above.

No, it's about logging in to someone else's account against the Netflix ToS. Netflix doesn't want you to access their computer systems that way.

It's absolutely true, you're accessing an unauthorized account. All law enforcement need to do is ask you, did you access an electronic account that was not yours ?

Nuance will be ignored when it suits them.
