hey guys.well we got some new IT laws here and i'm wondering what are similar laws in the USA, UK, etc...basicly i'd like to know:what happens if you hack someone's site and get access to all their db stuff, data and all? what are consequences? penalties?also what happens it you hack it from a company? is that considered a corporate espionage?so i'd like to know the legal side of it so i can see if ours is ok or not.  Go with the flow & have fun! Else fight the flow  |
