This argument goes towards the DMCA, as well as what is considered under the CFAA..
"Intentionally accessing a computer without authorization to obtain: ....Information from any protected computer."
What does 'without authorization' mean, and what does 'protected' mean?
Does without authorization mean you violate a click-through license? Or is there some nebulous authentication chit you are handed? Is it a felony to fake your name on a website demanding your name?
And with that keyword 'protected', how do we know it is indeed protected? What steps one must take to protect, and what steps one must go through to understand that it is indeed protected computer/data?
In other words, we are all felons-on-standby. The laws are so vague as to entrap all by default.
