Miss. Code Ann. §§ 97-45-1, 97-45-3, 97-45-5, 97-45-7, 97-45-9 · Read the law's page

• Accessing a public, unauthenticated Mississippi-connected computer or page is not, by itself, computer fraud, an offense against computer users, or an offense against computer equipment; those offenses require intent to defraud or a lack of consent from an authorized user or an equipment owner, elements a public page does not carry on its own.
• Copying or using data gained through observation of the property in public use or on public display is proper means and is a defense to the offense against intellectual property; ordinary collection from a public-facing page is likely to fit within this defense.
• Do not defraud, deny an authorized user access, disable or damage equipment, or destroy, insert, modify, copy, use, or take intellectual property without consent, by means that fall outside proper means (independent invention, lawful reverse engineering, license or authority of the owner, public observation, or published literature).
