Just because you can enter someone's home because the door is unlocked does not mean you are invited.
Similarly you will find that trespassing on a system you do not have authorized use of (and no login is not implicit authorized use) is going to get you in trouble pretty much everywhere.
- alexandre_m 11y agoThe difference is the degree of knowledge you have of doing something wrong while transgressing the law. It's like if my grand-mother with alzheimer accidentally entered the wrong apartment room or house where the door was unlocked. It's not like she should go to jail or get shot by the owner pretending she was a threat. I haven't seen the website, but if they made it really easy to enter remote systems then someone could defend himself saying he didn't know what it was all about. One could probably argue that some Popcorn Time users would enter this gray zone. However, the providers of those kind of services are mostly aware of the illegality of their users behaviour, so they are infringing the law clearly.
