They're a corporation. Little people laws don't apply to them.

(Oh, how I long to be wrong on this, but I strongly suspect that nothing, or at least nothing that will make the campaign a net negative, will come of the fact that they violated the hell out of the CFAA.)

The ad ran in Sweden. CFAA is an American law.

We have the equivalent law against "dataintrång", lit. computerized trespass/intrusion.
