What is the definition of traditional trespass to personal property? How does this definition differ from that of trespass to computer services?
Damage must be done to personal property for it to be considered trespass. However, any attempt to access a computer or programs constitutes trespass to computer services.

The traditional definition of trespass to personal property refers to the intentional interference with someone else's personal property without their permission. In other words, it involves physically entering or using someone's property without their authorization. This can include actions like damaging, taking, or using someone's belongings without permission.
On the other hand, trespass to computer services, also known as computer trespass or unauthorized access, refers to the unauthorized entry or use of someone else's computer system or network. It involves gaining access to computer services without proper authorization, typically through hacking, unauthorized use of login credentials, or exploiting vulnerabilities in the system.
While both traditional trespass to personal property and trespass to computer services involve unauthorized access or use, their key difference lies in the medium of the offense. Traditional trespass deals with physical property, whereas trespass to computer services involves unauthorized access to digital systems.
