For copyright infringement?  Well, kinda -- specifically under the

NOT allowed under the DMCA (showing what a shitty little piece of law
it really is -- it's a law so bad it has to make some forms of
potential criticism of it illegal).


The charge then probably related to the breaking of the security, not
copyright. And, to put the focus back onto the original discussion,
this is an orange. The apples were one's ability to photograph
publicly viewable structures or persons.
