most door locks can be easily picked. can i go from house to house, pick locks and then demand payment? (spoiler: no)

  I feel you are just applying a classic example from ethical hacking 101 that doesn't apply at all. The common example is that a house can have a door without lock, but it is still a crime to enter. Similarly, entering into a vulnerable system or a system without password even is not legal (although of course the existence of a password or lock mechanism makes undeniable the fact that the place is not for public entry) In this case there is no entering into any system. There is no lock picked, no server accessed.

    irrelevant. can i just decide on my own to do some work, and then *demand* payment for such work? the answer is still no.
