> unlike what's inside a store front, you can't observe the contents of a web server without interacting with it (trespassing). Then what do you consider the storefront, or public facing data of a website? Just the whois info on the domain? The general public can't observe the locked contents of a server without hacking it. Hacking is trespassing. I would modify your analogy to say the store front is public facing, just like some of the LI data is public facing. There is other LI data that is not public facing. In my opinion, websites have a larger storefront, as well as multiple levels of access to internal data.
