Hacked systems and the law

[Jim Herrmann]

Jonathan, you're so full of shit.  In Brian's scenario, they certainly 
would be found guilty of breaking and entering if they were caught.  
Your logic of requiring someone to lock the doors before it's considered 
breaking and entering runs counter to the spirit of every property law 
ever written.
