Even if CL's interpretation of the CFAA is legally correct, this is an abuse of it by any measure. Suing people for accessing your publicly available website is absurd. The fact that Craig would publicly claim the money was a donation, after he obtained it by exploiting a very dangerous view of the CFAA and bankrupted a company that didn't do anything wrong, is disgusting to me. I've always found Craig Newmark to be a little creepy; now I think he's squarely in scumbag territory.
