Computer Ethics, From the Grandstands

Same reasoning here. If you find a security hole YOU are blamed for 'breaking' the security.
B-U-L-L !
From its beginnings the internet was designed to transfer information as quickly and efficiently as possible, even in the event of a nuclear attack. It was NOT designed to be a storefront operation or to provide layers of security (and it does not).
If you do not want people to know something then DON'T MAKE IT ACCESSIBLE VIA THE INTERNET.
Period.
Calling it illegal is simply government pandering to businesses who are making a killing on the net and cant be bothered to take minimal security precautions.
Rather than making a new class of criminals, lets put the blame on the people who are too ignorant, stupid, or lazy to lock their doors or even close their windows.
