I think a well-paid lawyer could use federal law, title 18, sections
1028, 1029, and 1343. At one time, I used to know a RICO section that
prohibited forging computer access information, but I was having trouble
refinding the section.

If you know a well-paid lawyer willing to take this on pro-bono, I know
some folks selling toner cartriges.. :)
