That's something I've been wondering about myself. People have run afoul of the CFAA with less egregious actions than these. I guess the Beeper guys talked to their lawyer at least, before taking this course of action.

This type of project is protected from CFAA by Van Buren. AFAIK the only untested precedent is ToS violation.
