Citing convictions overturned on appeal probably isn't the strongest evidence of illegality. (Because they were overturned on threshold issues that didn’t involve inquiry into the substantive merits of the charges, its not evidence against illegality, either, but...)

My point is people have gone to prison over GET parameters, not the legality of the it. DOJ has CFAA. Abusing private APIs is flying close to the sun. Even if you do get out of prison eventually
