Trespass in Cyberspace
Analogy to chattel trespass claim:
- A visitor intentionally violates the posted conditions of use at the site, and
- Interferes with the commercial use of the site, destroying its value
A trespass claim might also be maintained based on a visitor violating a site’s limited consent policy. Such limit might involve consent to view the site, rather than to also take information from the site for commercial purposes
