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?

Even speech protected by the 1st amendment sent as spam is still spam, and I don't want it. This absurd scenario is hardly a compelling argument for questioning the CFAA. Perhaps a better analogy is needed.
I also don't like how installing certain software makes all sorts of changes to your computer such as re-branding your browser with their name on it as well as other stuff done for marketing purposes. These changes are unecessary as well as very unwanted. Do you think they would stop doing that if we politely asked them to? I think only something with teeth like the CFAA will force these people to stop tampering with our computers.
We have tolerated these abuses for too long. Thanks to this article, I'm all for the federal computer crime law!
