We havent seen the warrant. We have only been told one charge the "artist" claims. That to me doesn't paint a holistic picture of reality. The criminal statute on unauthorized access seems pretty clear so perhaps McDonald 'just' violated that as a standalone matter. If so, ok - next (jail). To answer your question about the difference between this and your scenario is best summed up by the arrival or lack thereof the Secret Service. Agree, it is very important for folks to better understand how easy it is (for some) to cross the line into legal trouble. The EFF provides a few solid overviews on these issues. Would avoid these waters in general, but I digress...
