Interestingly enough, it may not even have been as complicated as that.

According to one Reddit commenter, the UGA calendar is left wide open for submissions - and in some cases, posts may be under minimal (if any) review. So it may be that he simply found the wide open URL, filled out a form, and hit 'submit'.

Seems like that would be fair game without using Tor or some other proxy - since there are no terms or conditions of use mentioned on the form, seems like it's open to anyone to post. But who's to say?

So UGA's theory is he was trespassing because that wide open system is only intended for use by UGA Students, Faculty, etc? Seems flimsy to me.
