Just because there is a way to obtain a resource doesn't make it yours automatically..

- dagss 3y agoThe only "real" thing about either of those 2 cases is social conventions. Is is entirely impossible to imagine a culture where walking unbidden into private property is very normal but pinging someone electronically without a common understanding is an intrusion?
