    Aaron Swartz story is a bit different, because he actually paid for those documents via taxpayer money.

    But other parts of your comment is true. A good analogy: if someone leaves their house open, and you walk in, that is still burglary trespassing.

      In your analogy that isn’t trespassing. You’d have to knowingly violate a no trespassing sign or a persons command to leave for it to be trespassing.

        That’s only true for areas of land that aren’t visibly occupied. Entering any building without permission is considered first degree trespassing in my state, and I don’t think that’s a unique definition. Traversing the land near a dwelling is considered second degree trespass.

      Bad analogy imho. This would be like going in a mall, entering a store, and being told that it’s actually a house and you’re trespassing
