In reality, what you're saying makes no sense.

Making something available on the internet means giving permission to download it. Exceptions may be if it happens accidentally or if the uploader does not have the necessary permissions.

In reality the exceptions are way more widespread than you believe.

Oh. I see. The attempts to extract training data from ChatGPT may be criminal under the CFAA. Not a happy thought.

I did say "making available" to exclude "hacking".

The point I'm illustrating is that plenty of things reasonable people would assume are fine the law can call hacking.
