> Finally, just because a network is open does not mean you have permission to use it. If it looks like a store and the door's unlocked their are unsettling consequence when it is considered appropriate to charge trespassing when someone comes in expecting to shop around. If it is common understanding that MIT's net work is open and is used/viewed as a public resource with out MIT making it know otherwise then their are unsettling consequences if it is considered appropriate to charge a user with digital trespassing. Now there have been several reports that the MIT network often unpoliced/regulated on purpose, and there are many other universities that have similar polices though most not as liberal as MIT's, so in this light I have not been able to see any arguments for digital trespassing as a strong argument.
