That is the argument about the CFAA -- that the law should be revised to rein in the government's crazy abuse of it.
I absolutely agree the law should be revised. The only problem is trying to set a decent spectrum of punishments that have clear delineation points. This is the main reason I feel it hasn't been revised. The law is broad in its application, and the feds can argue that judges still have the ability to hand down more lenient sentences where they feel its applicable.
I do agree because of its broad and vague terminology, the feds have used it to go after a wide range of offenses. Sometimes merited, but I fell in this case, not so much.
