Sure, but it isn't special pleading. This case is like Facebook leaving out a piece of paper on a table and telling someone not to read it. Is it then illegal to read the piece of paper if it is in plain sight in a place they are allowed to be? I sure hope not.
I explicitly reject that I want to negate criminal liability because of the hosts liability. If there are poorly designed access controls in place which are illegally eluded, both should be liable. If there are none, then only the host should be liable.
- tptacek 10y agoClearly that analogy fails, since this thread is rooted in a comment suggesting (wrongly, I think) that authorization was mooted by the request and response nature of the Internet.
