The Court is saving the asses of everyone using a company computer or cellphone.

The Gov wants to interpret it in the broadest way possible. For example, most employers will state that you can only use your work phone for work related things. So if you looked up a pie recipe with your work phone or computer, you would have broken the CFAA. The Gov's interpretation is absolutely mental.

The CFAA covers those who obtain information from particular areas in the computer—such as files, folders, or databases—to which their computer access does not extend. It does not cover those who, like Van Buren, have improper motives for obtaining information that is otherwise available to them.
