unauthorized access to a computer under the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act, Ekeland said in a phone interview. He called the prosecutors' interpretation of that federal law extremely expansive.

The trial lasted about one week, excluding a disruption related to Hurricane Sandy, and jurors deliberated for a couple of hours, Ekeland added.

AT&T has partnered with Apple in the United States to provide wireless service on the iPad. After the hacking, it shut off the feature that allowed email addresses to be obtained.

The case is U.S. v. Auernheimer, U.S. District Court, District of New Jersey, No. 11-00470.
