Isn't this a felony? No seriously. I believe the law is phrased like "if you use a network in a way that it was not intended to be used". It's one of those laws that everyone is guilty of, and people even write blog posts bragging about doing it, but it will be used to bring someone down when they have no other charges that will stick.

And even if you don't think that's reasonable, how confident are you that a prosecutor couldn't convince a judge and/or jury it is?
