In your case, "what happens if..." is spelled out in contract, and
therefore, not interpretable as "in excess of authorization".
If the contract simply omits the "what if" scenario, then when you go
over (or reach beyond use specified in the contract in any other way) only the
tender mercies of the law determine what will happen to you.[ Reply to This | Parent | # ]

Would having an Android software upgrade on your phone that ends up
increasing your data download speed be interpreted by the Law as "hacking their
system"?

Which, as near as I can tell, Aaron Swartz did not do. He
put two devices (each legally entitled to bandwidth) on the
system, and he plugged into the wired system - but only
downloaded that at the maximum speed of the wired system. At
no point, from what I can tell, did he attempt to modify the
MIT system to increase HIS speed.
