Hmm, entering a network(home), and gathering information about what's there sounds an awful lot like what the justice department now considers equavalent to hijacking planes. Once they hit your router they are on a private network. If finding an unprotected credit card number directory on eBay or some other public server will get you 20 years think how this could be prosecuted.
Not the same thing at all. A house is not built in some secure area and then moved out to the street for the sole purpose of exposing it's contents. By your same line of thought the passer-by should be guilty of breaking into your home b/c they saw you spanking it on your front porch and then went and called the police.
You sir are a pervert;)
In my state and I would imagine most, if the terms of the lease are read by the consumer after money has changed hands it's not a lease, it's a sale. No lease restrictions may be enacted after money has been accepted by the seller. Microsoft is also a third party in the sale and doesn't really have much say in it, as they have already taken money from the retail store, and other than copywrite have no legal right to the product.
If you DON't want something to be public knowledge..... then try not putting it on a PUBLIC network. The Internet for example last time I checked was available to the public.
