In ''International Airport Centers, L.L.C. v. Citrin'', the Seventh Circuit Court of Appeals evaluated the dismissal of the plaintiffs’ lawsuit for failure to state a claim based upon the interpretation of the word “transmission” in the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act, .〔Lemley, Mark A.; Menell, Peter S.; Merges, Robert A. ''Software and Internet Law''. 4th ed. New York: Wolters Kluwer Law & Business, 2011. ISBN 0735589151〕 Jacob Citrin had been employed by IAC, who had lent him a laptop for use while under their employment. Upon leaving IAC, he deleted the data on the laptop before returning it to IAC. The Court of Appeals decided to reverse the decision and reinstated IAC’s lawsuit. 〔 ==Facts== International Airport Centers, L.L.C. (IAC) is a group of companies in the real estate business. 〔AJH. "(International Airport Centers v. Citrin )." Cases of Interest. Risch, Michael. 23 Apr 2010. 6 Feb 2012. 〕 IAC employed the defendant, Jacob Citrin, to identify potential acquisitions and record data about these properties. IAC lent Citrin a laptop for this purpose. 〔 Citrin became self-employed and quit IAC, breaching his employment contract in the process. 〔 He deleted the data on the laptop before returning it to IAC, using a secure-erasure software that rendered files irrecoverable. This process destroyed data that he had collected for IAC in addition to data revealing improper workplace conduct.〔〔 The provision of the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act provides that whoever “knowingly causes the transmission of a program, information, code, or command, and as a result of such conduct, intentionally causes damage without authorization, to a protected computer” violates the Act. Citrin argued that erasing a file from a computer is not a “transmission.” The district court agreed and dismissed the lawsuit since it determined that the deletion of the files did not violate the CFAA. However, Circuit Judge Posner examined the “transmission” of the secure-erasure program to the computer, stating that the method of transmission here – whether it was installed through a network or a disc – is irrelevant. “Damage” here included “any impairment to the integrity or availability of data, a program, a system, or information.”〔〔
