Re: Overly Paranoid.
Indeed, I believe this is how they prosecuted Aaron Schwartz, whose unauthorised access to the JSTOR site was nothing more than basic mirroring tools. An amendment to the CFAA that would have excluded ToS violations stalled in committee. So it's quite understandable that this law would be challenged. If a USDA wanted you they could get you on fairly innocuous acts, essentially reversing the burden of proof. Put it this way, I wouldn't want to have to convince a judge and jury that it's fine to modify the URL in the address bar of your browser after inferring the use of sequential ids (I seem to recall a case like that).
