I very much agree here. The problem isn't that there's a law against accessing a computer system without authorization or how it's defined. The problem is that the law treats unauthorized access to a computer system so much more harshly than the equivalent trespasses on physical property. If he'd been charged with a misdemeanor resulting in "a fine of not more than $100 and up to 30 days in jail" I could see that as being a just law. Decades in prison and a felony record? Not so much.
