      The account holder violated the contract with the serviceprovider. The “hacker” has no agreement with anyone so they violated nothing. They found a key on the ground and used it in a lock.

          Yeah. It comes down to Freedom to roam in Northern Europe and squatters rights in the extreme physical parallel. Entering is fine as long as there is no breaking.

          In the digital relm i would argue that brute forcing a password is like jimmying a lock, but finding a password is like finding a key.

          But I think your point is the strongest. It doesn’t matter what either of us think. It totally depends on the justice system that has jurisdiction and those rules could be anything.
