Van Buren was also convicted of wire fraud for the same act, with a concurrent prison sentence with the CFAA count of the same length (18 months). So at least in this case he's getting the same punishment either way for his actions.
Reducing the scope of the CFAA in case law just means that we take the teeth out of a overused and honestly crappy law that's ruined lives without reason to.
