Overreaction. Is it illegal for me to talk to your phone? To broadcast myself with a megaphone, in a crowd, and yell "Hey Siri, turn on airplane mode"?

Is it illegal for me to unplug your computer? Jerkish, sure, but illegal only, maybe, in very rare circumstances.

I think you are missing the point. Sure, it's an overreaction but if an individual did it as a prank you can bet some prosecutor would try to make a name for themselves by throwing the book at them. What's fair for the goose...

I am officially doing this at every function I attend from now on. thank you for this fantastic idea. JWZ would be proud.

They're a corporation. Little people laws don't apply to them.

(Oh, how I long to be wrong on this, but I strongly suspect that nothing, or at least nothing that will make the campaign a net negative, will come of the fact that they violated the hell out of the CFAA.)

The ad ran in Sweden. CFAA is an American law.

We have the equivalent law against "dataintrång", lit. computerized trespass/intrusion.

Both of you: thanks for the correction.

We really need a case in which a corporate executive goes to jail for something like that.

Not sure that the world really needs more litigation...
