A common trick used by 'Art School account' holders at a certain University in 83 was to check the sequential account numbers and use the default password. If the rightful owner never logged in the account would be yours for the quarter. If they did, you got kicked and had to use on the other 100 or so you and your buddies built up.
I mention Art School accounts because back in 83 an Arts Major would never set foot in a data center but was issued a account nonetheless. If they never logged in nobody cared. There were many non-student users at 'The Apocalyptic Cyber Coven' back then. Name the school and you get a cookie.
oh great, now we got to worry exploding IPs and routers. People shooting spam at us from every direction. You never know when your gonna step on a 419 and end up buying the "low rate M0RTgaT3".
I have had 10.x.x.x addresses for a long time and I am gonna keep them. You varmits need to find your own, your not taking away my net addresses. Same goes for the 192.168.X net. That's mine too, it's just my summer home.

That is where you would need a sign to prove trespass, open land is just that. However Farmland is a bad example. A farm is a place of activity.

Not quite, the simple fact of a door that is closed is all you need. Even if it's wide open it's still properly demarcated. Signage is not a requirement, merely courtesty. The Fourth Amendment - Search and Seizure is all about what is and isn't legit. Having a firewall on your system is enough of an indication your not a open house.
Quite the reverse, a house or clearly property must have some sort of indication that welcomes visitors. Otherwise it is assumed not open. Thats why businesses have OPEN signs. If you don't see a such a sign then they are not open to the public.
The details are just that, details. If I find a spyware on my box, I shoot it. IF the Maker of that program has the balls to complain they can bite me. Many of the programs on my windows box never get more then once call home, I merely DNS their target sites to 127.0.0.1. If they try by IP I have ways to block that too.
However a PC/Server whatever is still property and there is no law anywhere that says I have to let other people's software run on it for their benefit. A Trespass is a still Tresspassing even if you are not actually there in person.
If they make me get a license, then somebody will insure me. Hmm, that could be useful. In the comicbook Transmetropolitan the main character Spider was insured and used it as club to work mischief. By having a license and insurance your actions have legitimacy. Or at least the threat of lawyers. A license would give the reporter the same professional secrecy standing of a Doctor or Priest. (Scratch Priest, wink wink)
We have let a madeup word blur what a journalist is.
Has I have owned the domain http://www.zines.com/ for well over 8 years, See BTW below. I would guess it qualifies me as well, but my role has been more as an editor then journalist. Of bloggers, I would say they could be journalists. But Blogs are closer to being like Punditry. Un-original, un-researched, regugitations.
However, I can't see the test being anything that could exclude them from calling themselves journalists. If the laws say X number of stories in Y timeframe that isn't workable.
The test shouldn't be, did the person write stories that where "printed" on-topic to what they are trying to get protection. If somebody wrote a few fiction stories or opinions then went out an slammed a politico for some misdeed without showing clear proof. If they claimed Journalistic Privledge, then that a fair indication they are not covered. That falls into slander, if they can provide some documentation, like signed checks or pictures that's proof. Protect the source is one thing, have no proof is another.
A pundit should not be covered, they don't report anything. Unless your Bob Novack and your reporting on the identity of a undercover CIA agent. Or using the cover of a reporter to "report" for a fictious "News Organization" in the whitehouse press corps. I am slamming Novack because he's not reporting anymore. He's a full blown pundit. A pundit is a puppet.
Republican bashing aside, Air America barely squeaks by as a Actual News 0rganization. They do research, they report and opinionate much to the same degree like, I grudging admit Fox News is also an Actual News 0rganization.

The Standing Committee of Correspondents, rejected Gannon's application for a Capitol Hill press pass because of Talon News'lack of independence from a political organization. Committee chairman Jim Drinkard wrote in his letter:
The application for accreditation to the press galleries states that "members of the press shall not engage in lobbying or paid advertising, publicity, promotion, work for any individual, political party, corporation, organization, or agency of the Federal Government." Talon News has not demonstrated to the satisfaction of the committee that there is a separation from GOPUSA/Millions of Americans.com.

Gannon was a blogger, but not a journalist. Other more topical orgnizations like http://www.circusnews.com/ are journalistic in nature and I would think that one of their self imposed limits would be where their reporter strayed off the topic (in this case Circuses) and into say Astronomy. Nothing really incendiary there (heh heh), however it's outside their organizations obvious field. This does NOT make it NOT NEWS, If that was to be an opinion piece in Astronomy, is the reporter from Circus News still covered as a Journalist? I would think in that case, no. If they were to report on any subject that could be construded as a legitimate news story then it's still a legit story by an 'employed' reporter. Just outside Circus News' normal market.
Likewise if a so called 'Blogger' wrote a real news story then they are acting as a journalist. A blogger should be seen in much the same light as the difference between a Taxi Driver and Your Mom. Both can drive you somewhere, like a hospital or a friend's house, but the diffence boiled down is one get's paid to do it as a profession (unless your Mom is a cabbie). But both can drive.
The test for a Journalist should be in the simplest term;
