Is anyone familiar with the Banner MOTD story?
The one that says a court ruled that it was not illegal to hack into a switch/router as the owners did not have a warning message prohibiting unauthorised access.
Do we know if this is fact or otherwise?

Think it was in a university, some students broke in, University found out, tried to prosecute them, and lost. -
