Hit them with copyright abuse then. Not every crime commissioned on a computer should be treated as a computer crime.
Doing so functionally leads to double jeopardy on all manner of civil and criminal cases and the opportunity for excessively punitive sentencing and sanctions that are basically optional to apply. IANAL, but this seems to introduce an unacceptable degree of discretion in the law.
As an example, if I send an extortion message via post, I get in trouble for extortion. If I do it via email should that be a computer crime as well? I guess it's up for debate since most everything is, but I feel comfortable enough to say clearly not.
