Federal anti-hacking law permits cybercrime victims to sue their attackers. So why is that software companies, webmasters and computer makers are the ones being hauled into court?

Not a single example of "abuse" of the cyber-crime statutes you offered seems like abuse to me. Your article left me in favor or the cyber-laws though I'm not sure that was your intent.
