Why not? weev was put in jail over incrementing a number in a url. Surely writing software to put values into urls is even worse.

Let's be clear and accurate: technically weev was put in jail for conspiring on IRC with JacksonBrown. JacksonBrown was the one who wrote a PHP script that incremented a value in a URL (and appended a valid Luhn check digit following incrementation).

Conspiracy to access a protected computer system - that is, typing on IRC. weev didn't write any of the code or access the API.
