nope, the law we are discussing ONLY INVOLVES foreign governments involvement in to our election process.is CNN a foreign government???? This law is about foreign government's influence in our American electionsThen CNN is guilty of campaign finance laws every time it does a gushing pieces on Democrats.
Information may have value but it is not an item of value unless someone tries to sell or buy it.
And if you extend the concept of information having intrinsic value, all sorts of other laws come into play regarding other parties.
Again, we are discussing the concept of value of information. You just can't decide value means one thing with regards to this law, then ignore that definition when it comes to another law.there is value in use, and value in exchange...nope, the law we are discussing ONLY INVOLVES foreign governments involvement in to our election process.is CNN a foreign government????

I think it says the meaning of value, depends on each individual case....
AS example:
IF it's just talk, with no proof in writing presented....That could be worthless to them....if it was the private emails of Hillary Clinton given to them, then those emails have value in use.... imo
The word value has many meanings and may be used in different senses. Because value is usually a relative term, its true meaning must be determined by the context in which it appears.
Value sometimes expresses the inherent usefulness of an object and sometimes the power of purchasing other goods with it. The first is called value in use, the latter value in exchange. Value in use is the utility of an object in satisfying, directly or indirectly, the needs or desires of human beings. Value in exchange is the amount of commodities, commonly represented by money, for which a thing can be exchanged in an open market. This concept is usually referred to as market value.
Courts have frequently used the word value without any clear indication of whether it referred to value in use or market value.
---------------------------------------------------------
noun
Value is the worth in goods, services or money of an object or person.
- An example of value is the amount given by an appraiser after appraising a house.
- An example of value is how much a consultant's input is worth to a committee.
Still a stretch, the law specifically starts with referencing money and then goes into other things of value. Again, cars, jewelry, property, etc.
