My text messages got transferred without my permission. Was this legal?
I live in a university residence. Unfortunately, I have forgotten to lock my door. One night and the next morning I noticed that both my laptop and my phone had gotten moved.
I suspect someone near me to have taken my phone couple of days ago (without permission) and he/she transferred all of my text message data on their computer. The reason I suspect this is because my Iphone does not require a pass-code anymore and my Itunes says that my phone was successfully restored and synced from a backup.
My question is: did this person commit anything illegal? Is it illegal to transfer my text messages on their computer without my permission?
In my opinion, this person did not commit anything legal and it is illegal to transfer your text messages on their computer without your permission. You must inform all of your friends about this otherwise there may be some thing wrong with them or you.
Not observing good Security practises is an open invitation to Criminal behaviour
your situation was preventable but you chose not to bother
while what they may have done is not right it is unlikely it would result in any criminal charges
- Would it be okay to put logos of other companies in without permission in my art? I'm joining this nationwide art competition in my country with the theme of "consumerism." I'm planning on putting an iPhone on my artwork but instead it will say iDiot. Will designing it in a slightly altered way avoid lawsuits? Do you think the competition will reject my entry if they saw a representation of the iPhone? It will not be the main object in my piece, just a little accessory. Like really small.
- Would I need permission to use quotes from a game? I'm in the middle of creating a soundboard application for the iPhone and the quotes are from the game: GTA: San Andreas. Yes I know its old; its a classic. I'm going to be selling the app for £0.69 and was wondering if I needed specific rights from Rockstar to use them. I don't want letters sending to me explaining I have a court date. Cheers for all your help, Chris

- Will my iphone info automatically sync without permission? I'm babysitting and I have my iphone plugged into their computer to charge. I just want to make sure all of my pictures won't upload to their computer. The computer is locked but it's still charging. I also put "don't trust" on the prompt that popped up on my phone about sharing with that computer. I just want to make sure lol.
