that property is unprotected or poorly protected makes it less "trespassing."

You know that booking someone for trespassing is pretty difficult, right? They have to be depriving you of the use of your property AND refuse to leave. So if I set up camp on your front lawn, and you ask me to leave, and I do, I was not trespassing. I don't think AS was depriving anyone of the use of their property here, was he? So the analogy does not really hold.



AS's actions caused MIT to lose access to JSTOR. And he kept on very actively circumventing measures to keep him off their network.
