I agree, I also won't support people breaking into computer systems.

Have you ever been to a website that prompted you for your name to make an account or have temporary access, and you put in a fake name? Perhaps some forum that wanted you to register?

One of the charges against Aaron was Wire Fraud, because he did just that - entering the name "Gary Host" into a captive portal to register for wifi access.

Congratulations, you're a felon too.

I support them, as long as they do the right thing afterwards and make the owners aware and do not do anything destructive or that violates someone's privacy.

I "break into" computer systems all the time.

Since I do not follow the EULA/license agreement for each website, and I send a handshake requesting files over a webserver, I am in violation of federal law for unauthorized computer usage.

That's fucking bullshit.
