I personally know three people who have been indicted, and I hardly hang out in the Mos Eisley cantena. This is a small community.

I mean, the Aaron Schwartz case is not an outlier - and every hacker knows someone like that.

Agree, but the overly punitive nature of US criminal justice isn't unique to CFAA. We just more easily identify with those caught in it.

Is your answer zero, that no hacker should ever be prosecuted under any circumstance?

There is certainly that feeling in parts of the infosec community. For the record, I don't agree--but prosecutors seem to fear hackers.

Everyone knows Aaron Swartz & Stephen Watt, I think it's made people more sensitive to it regardless of the facts.

FBI should at least acknowledge that sensitivity and have a comms plan to address it. A detailed criminal complaint on day 1 would help.
