Story: Tsunami appeal site 'hacker' found guilty
Posted by: Anonymous (Saturday 15 October 2005, 3:05 AM)
Well if this is now a crime, then come get me right now because I get "unauthorized" errors all the time, and all I was trying to do is click on a web site. For example, it is common for me to do a search and come up with some page on someone's web site. But, they provide no "up" or "home" link so I then modify the URL to back up one directory at a time to see if I can get to the start of his web site. I often get the HTML pages I'm hoping for, or sometimes a directory listing, and sometimes various "unauthorized" messages. So what??
And my firewall merrily stops dozens of intrusions per minute from various viruses out there... I don't go run crying to the police about it! "Waaaaahhhh a virus tried to get into my computer and the firewall stopped it, but waaaaahhhh I want revenge anyway!"
