  Where I live, walking in the open front door of the house of a stranger is rather antisocial, but not in itself criminal. The real world analogy fails, because this person didn’t take anything (copying isn’t taking since the owner is not deprived of the original) Even unlocking their door with a key you found lying in the street, and then going in, is not in itself criminal (where I live). If you go on to commit a crime while inside, or did it with the intention to commit such a crime-that added fact makes it a crime (“break and enter”). But mere unlocking the door and entering in itself is not.
