Uhm, speaking of naïve, YOU may see no particular reason, why a policeman cannot do a body-cavity search on you without probable cause either.... In fact, I am sure, there are some out there, who actually dream of such act being done to them....
But, the rest of us, find this act a violation. Just like we find, that deleting legally purchased files from our devices, without our permission, or a court order, a violation.
And there is a reasonable argument, that under the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act, a court may find the same. Particularly now, that there is no minimum amount of damage required.
