Quick question. If one group intends a grossly inadequate effort to be a layer of security and another party ignores that effort who is in error? It could be argued that if the supposed security measure is so poorly conceived the bypassing party presumed it to be an error and thus used their software knowledge to mitigate the defect. On one hand there is an intentional barrier to restrict access to content while on the other hand the intention is to serve content and so the bypassing party assists that service intention.
I am of the bias that a space of technology cannot be summarily redefined by a single group interest merely to compensate their financial insecurity.
- otterley 8y agoTo make a long story short, the law to date has always been on the side of the property owner/rights holder insofar as these sorts of questions are concerned. You can’t presume that just because the door is swinging open in the breeze that it constitutes an invitation to enter or that you can fix the defect on someone else’s behalf without repercussions. Context matters in the law, just as it does in the real world.
