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?

However, in all of the examples, THERE IS NO HACKER TO SUE. It isn't a case of choosing to go after the deep pockets instead of the real culprit. In each example, the real culprit is the deep pocket!!
It seems to me then that the law is being applied exactly as intended. Mmm, refreshing!
