    into         his web site

This is pretty amusing.

Successful plaintiffs side occupational illness expert witness maintains
password protected web site.
Defense side lawyers "guess" password and enter site -- use information
found there to impeach expert witness. Expert suspects that lawyers hacked
into his web site, so he puts up a headline  "See How Jones, Day Buys a
Colorado Judge" to trap lawyers.  Lawyers see headline, take it to judge.
Judge throws out expert's testimony.  Plaintiffs lose.  Expert sues for
violation of Computer Fraud and Abuse Act.
