Yea, I'm sure the Russian/China/NK/Iran hackers are deeply afraid of the CFAA, you got them shaking dude (and vice versa when someone in the US hacks one of their sites).

The particular problem here is we think of the crime on the web in a civil/criminal manner... "People should just follow the law or be punished for a crime". This is not the internet. Regardless of what you think about the internet, it is an international war zone. If you leave the hatch of a tank open and a drone blows it up, that was you being stupid. If you leave an ammunition truck unguarded and the enemy takes it, again, that is you being stupid.

History will look back and say WWIII started on the web, but as of now it seems a huge number of people are in denial about it.
