Are TOS violations felonies now?

If you want to read about how we got into this fucked up situation I'd recommend The Hacker Crackdown by Bruce Sterling (a notorious cyberpunk sf writer among other things) https://www.gutenberg.org/ebooks/101

Yes, technically any TOS violation is one ambitious prosecutor away from a felony, thanks to the CFAA.
