> ok to write a program whose sole purpose is to try and break the law Is it 'breaking the law' to turn off computers when you see the police knocking at your door (or in the parking log) but don't know why? Meaning they haven't presented a warrant or even exchanged words with you yet? Even in the particular event cited: "about 10 investigators for the Quebec tax authority burst into Uber Technologies Inc.’s office in Montreal" The act of bursting in but not (yet) saying anything? I would argue that no laws have been broken. Edit: A similar situation might be if you see flashing lights behind you when you are driving. Doesn't mean the police are there to stop you could be someone else or could be a mistake you haven't been officially notified of an infraction. Breaking into an office is not the same as presenting a warrant and then prevent access to data detailed in a warrant.
