And because of the nature of 1030g, it couldn't go to court without measurable damages, because CFAA civil claims can only pursue economic damages. So, in a real sense, the implication of using the CFAA in this case is the opposite of what Techdirt manipulatively implies that it is. CFAA limited the scope of this case and reduced the stakes.

edited: this said "for 3taps" before, but I'm not sure that's accurate.
