It's not that far off. Prosecutors have used the CFAA to try to prosecute people for violating the ToS act of MySpace (thrown out by judge post-conviction) and to lodge charges against a scalper which used automated ways to get past a CATPCHA in order to buy tickets. And now Weev gets convicted for finding an undocumented webpage that was a security hole and using that to collect email addresses they then used to embarrass AT&T. He face YEARS in prison. The CFAA is vague on its face.
