Meh.

Your post to me is a bit like how people said "you feel violated, don't you" when we had burglars. I didn't feel violated, nor particularly care I'd had unknown people in my house -- what I cared about was the nuisance of making insurance claims.

>You'd never forgive someone for walking in and lifting your photo history //

Someone who looked at one of my photos to prove they could, or downloaded one - never shared it, never re-published it?? I wouldn't ever know, for one thing.

If they downloaded all my photos and never used them? Am I supposed to be angry?

>it's an excuse //

What do you think I'm excusing?

You mention school, so say someone hacks the school network, they don't share any of the info ever with anyone, don't use it in any way -- except perhaps the only result is they anonymously inform the school they have a breach -- what's immoral there? (Yes, practically you move the legality toward the easily measurable act of making access assuming immoral intent, I understand that.)

Send them to me then. I promise I'll never look at them.
