I wish people would quit using analogies such as "well if you go into a house where the door is unlocked, it's still B&E", etc. As with most computer related arguments, there is no good analogy. This isn't something you can easily compare to other things, this is something that other things will one day be compared to. Years from now, people will be using this as an analogy "well, it's like that kid who hacked Palins email".
He called the watchdog by calling palin using email to contract gov affiliates illegally and shame on yahoo for having a system so easy to get into I could do it drunk
@rif42 - "There are enough leads here to start investigation into how Palin used a web mail for government affairs."They HAD an investigation, they found no wrongdoing.
@rif42 <a class="user" href="http://community.adn.com/node/141023">http://community.adn.com/node/141023</a>&quot;Alaska's Personnel Board concluded Monday that Gov. Sarah Palin did not violate ethics law by trying to get her ex-brother-in-law fired from the state police, contradicting an earlier investigation's findings."There is no probable cause to believe that the governor, or any other state official, violated the Alaska Executive Ethics Act in connection with these matters," Timothy Petumenos, the Anchorage lawyer hired to conduct the investigation, wrote in his final report. "The Yahoo emails that may have pertained to Troopergate were included in this investigation. It's because of THAT investigation that included the emails as evidence (of which no wrong doing was found in connection with that investigation) that the kid's lawyer is able to say that the emails are a public record for his defense...
The governor of Illinois was forbidden from hitting up people for money. Yet, he allegedly did just that from the comfort of the governor's residence. So does that mean you have a right to break into his house?

Based on the reasons already mentioned, you clearly have no idea what Anonymous is.
