No. Not legally.

Yes, there is legally - even in USA where MPAA & RIAA got widest reach, CFAA is still way more serious law to breach, even at scale

I am saying that a) the hacking attack is still considered large scale b) offense against CFAA is heavier than against copyright.

EDIT: BTW, thanks for the direct links, 506.a.1.a is quite different from the usual regime I deal with so I had no idea about that one.
