Um... Are you saying that it isn't illegal to steal a car that someone left
running? Because if so I sense a really good business to get into in the US.
Regardless an unlocked closet is significantly different then this, first the
closet presumably still looks like it is locked until you test it, while keys
are visible from outside the car. Second, it is presumed you are not supposed to
hop in an drive away in a car you don't own, placing a laptop in a closet so
people don't steal it while it downloads (as far as you are aware legally) isn't
obviouslly illegal, and is obviously not 'highly' illegal. Third, that car uses
up fuel, putting something in a closet uses up nothing (note uses up isn't the
same as borrowing space in this context as you get the space back once he
removes the laptop).[ Reply to This | Parent | # ]

He was entitled to unlimited access of the service manually. Saying therefore he
"stole" papers by automating the dispensing of papers he was contractually
entitled to get manually is overstating the case.
What that merits is not 13
federal felonies. It's a brief discussion about "please stop that." Maybe
special access or some guidance on rate-limiting so as to avoid causing
disruption of the network.[ Reply to This | Parent | # ]
