Story: Tsunami 'hacker' is innocent, say readers
Posted by: Anonymous (Thursday 13 October 2005, 9:54 PM)
Posting a website is an invitation to enter. It is like opening a store on a high street. The store may have several departments accessed via different doors. If a door is signed "Staff Only" then the consequences of opening the door are clear. If there is no sign then one may assume that one is entitled to enter.
If the website Terms & Conditions stated: "Access to this website is only permitted via the links provided", then guilty is the correct verdict. If not, and no damage was caused, and there was no intent to cause damage, then either the verdict or the act is wrong.
