> When you are going into a wiring closet wearing a mask over your face to hide your identity, you pretty much know you are "doing something wrong."

I disagree. You know you're doing something that isn't allowed and will get you into trouble, but you might feel that it's morally right to do so.

I was responding to someone who thought that Aaron was doing this with absolutely no idea he wasn't allowed to.
I would appreciate it if you would stop misconstruing my position. I said that I had webscraped and didn't think it was wrong. I said as a student I would have stuck a laptop in an unlocked closet on campus with an Ethernet port and not thought that it was criminal. And, at no point, have I tried to characterize Aaron's thought and motives. Honestly - he working for higher principles than I ever have, so I am in no position to comment on his behavior, just mine.
