I found this fascinating:

"But then three and a half weeks later the police just knocked on the door and said we're here to speak to you about downloading files about First State Super," said Webster, adding police discussed the matter with him and told him to stay away from First State's website."

The implication there is that a website is property so strongly as to use the police to compel whether someone might choose to point their web browser at it.



That could be advise from the police. As in "We're looking into it, you say you are innocent, but if we find out you are hacking around that website again, then we might not be so sure"
