Don't laws about the physical world make a distinction between trespassing and breaking & entering?
if you hit a site once and see personally identifiable information (PII), report it and leave!
And get either ignored or sued.
- dragonwriter 13y ago> Don't laws about the physical world make a distinction between trespassing and breaking & entering? Sure. In rough terms: Trespassing is being on real property of another without permission or legal privilege. Breaking and entering is entering a residence or other enclosed property through the use of even the slightest amount of force (including things like pushing open a door or window that is not locked -- or even one that is not fully closed.) Burglary is the same as B&E, but with the intent to commit any other crime on the property. Most importantly, though, in the physical world, all of them are still illegal; Why should "unauthorized access" being punishable in the digital world should require some kind of effective security system when "unauthorized presence" (trespassing) in the phjyiscal world does not?
