Well, the Laborer's International Union just got sued under the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act for an email & voicemail campaign against a company that they felt had unfair labor practices. After the district court threw it out as not applicable, the 6th Circuit appeals court found that there was sufficient cause for a suit.[0] If an email/telephone campaign to protest a company's actions can be called computer fraud or abuse, thinking that a broad definition of terrorism can be applied to protests of various sorts is quite likely.
