Define "breaking". That's the key here, how does copying something without doing damage to the system (I.E. deleting files, leaving backdoors etc...) be treated the same as, let's say you walk into an unlocked office, stick an open folder's worth of files into a copy machine (also located in the office, I.E. cp, mv) and leave without taking the original folder's contents. At worse, it could be trespass since entering is not disputed, but then the website/portal/office or what have you, should clearly mark which areas are verboten to unauthorized personnel and what exactly "unauthorized" means. Does "unauthorized" mean you don't have any permission to view or copy at all? Does it mean, you have permission to view, but not copy? Does it mean you have permission to copy, but not a whole lot at the same time? Does it mean you can copy to your heart's desire, but not redistribute? Does it mean you can redistribute, but not edit? Breaking and entering isn't applicable as-is to the virtual world. Law makers need a completely different mindset to approach information security.
