I agree that defining where the boundary should be is tricky in practice, and it's a good point that this was hardly a unanimous decision, not to mention overruling the appealed ruling. On the other hand, the underlying law, the CFAA, is about more than just workplace issues like this issue. Interpreting it broadly could mean that violating some terms of use could be a criminal offense, and I am glad that the court avoided that interpretation. It's better having this law be more specific to the intent of criminalizing "hacking" and leaving other laws or policies to deal with how one might abuse computers or networks that one is otherwise entitled to access.
