About 400 elementary- and middle-school students taking part in the Shenendehowa Inventors program will display their inventions at the former Cotton Market store at Clifton Park Center from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Saturday.
rox0r your example is broken for many reasons. My point was people get bent out of shape when what's used/stolen is a physical possession but they seem more than willing to forgive if it's data (especially if [as in this case] it's not their data).
@rwheeler "This is something that I do on a regular basis. A friend will as me before purchasing something on the net "Do you think this is a safe site to purchase from?" I will then go do my own battery of test to see if it is."
So you admit on a public forum that you break the law on a regular basis....nice!
"Now I agree charge the kid if he had malicious intent... but if he alerted someone that had authority to make a decision on getting it fixed then I think this case will not make it far."
If there was no malicious intent or he didn't know he was doing anything wrong why did he report it anonymously? Why not just walk down to the office and show the principal first hand what he'd found?
In both the case of the boy(s) and yourself "malicious intent" is irrelevant as the law currently sits.
What if I just use a slimjim on your car and take it for a joy ride then send you an anonymous email saying I borrowed it for a while, I just wanted to prove that your locks were insufficient to secure your car, I'm sure you wouldn't mind.

DOH...I missed part.
Also if you've done nothing wrong you wouldn't feel the need to report anonymously. (Whether it's data or a car/child).
