What is breaking and entry and grand larceny? Certainly NOT hacking.
breaking and entry is a crime of physical presence. You can not enter
virtually. And to break means to alter the physical state in a way which is
not its natural state. Larceny is to to remove a physical object from
possession. Now you may be dealing in metaphore, but metaphore is not law,
not should it be. the appropriateness of a metaphore is in the mind of the
proposer. For some a smile is a summer's day, for others a stab in the
heart.
