Anyone has the “ability” and freedom to make threats under the CFAA.

Anyone has the “ability” and freedom to make threats under the CFAA. Because there are no consequences for doing so. This particular company wouldn’t get the feds to prosecute this case. Another annoying problem is that this company seems to think that their “policy” overrides first sale doctrine wrt their products: ‘we don’t know where or how you got that device, therefore CFAA violation threat.’
