Regarding hacking, it seems like there should be a mens rea defense available in cases where they are operating in situations like weev's case. It is stealing to walk into an open bank vault and take a stack of money, but is it hacking to walk into an open bank vault and write down the names on the safe deposit boxes?

Aramis posted:Do you mean mens rea in the sense of "I intend to do something nefarious", or "I know that I'm not supposed to be accessing this"? If Colonel Sanders ran down the street yelling what the seven herbs and spices are, and I write down what he is yelling, that is not a corporate espionage invasion into KFC HQ. If a person could access a piece of data without bypassing any encryption or indeed even a No Trespassing sign, that cannot be considered hacking. The public has no duty to avert its eyes, in other words
