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?

By guessing. Lots of spammers specialize in sending to
AOL and Hotmail. They combine names with numbers and
append "@hotmail.com" or "@aol.com" to the end. It's
not uncommon to see a spam with several similar recipient
e-mail addresses than yours, i.e.:
mike_j@hotmail.com, mikej@hotmail.com, mike1@hotmail.com...
When there are millions of users, the propability of
hitting something is quite good. Spammers don't care
about the wasted bandwidth or computing time because
they pay for neither. This also invalidates any First
Amendment arguments posed in the article.
