I don't think they shouldn't, most people don't think this is an issue. I certainly don't.

They’re bypassing your local network firewall, and local machine firewall, then attempting to connect to blocked ports. People have been jailed for less.

I definitely don't agree with jail. Unless there is real damage, then I wouldn't consider it an issue.

Sucks for that corporation. They have teams and teams of lawyers - they should have consulted one of them.

It is not just for a corporation to suddenly decide the law is unfair when they are subjected to it when real people have been harmed by the same law.
