    A giant faceless corp doing it for money?

    Totally okay and very cool.

    An individual doing it altruisticly for the betterment of society?

    Believe it or not, straight to jail.

      He actually broke into a secure MIT site at a building near Harvard Campus to connect via ethernet cable in a wiring cabinet, on multiple occasions.

      And the maximum for those crimes might have been 35 to 50 years but he hadn’t actually been tried, yet, and his defence asked for a plea deal of only 6 months.
