Starmer dumps doormat?

[Peter Sommer]

Yes, it is 2 years  for s 1 CMA - I didn't have full access either to 
the 'net or my own files when I posted this morning.

s 2 CMA is unauthorised access with intent to commit or facilitate 
commission of futher offences 
(http://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/1990/18/section/2)  but identifying 
the "further offence" in the NOTW situation might be difficult.
