'...the law only covered crimes on "people, things and animals" and not 
digital attacks...'

 -- one would think that a web server would fall into the "things" category 
under Argentine Law?

'The judge ruled that hacking didn't harm things, people or animals and thus 
was not covered in
the law'

 -- Oh.. but comprising a system *does* harm people, in many, many ways.

'Polls show that courts are some of the most unpopular institutions in 
Argentina and Supreme Court
judges have become a focus of public anger and a rallying cry for street 
protests against alleged
corruption in the state.' 

 -- Ahh it's all so clear now...  must be a difference of opinion in what a 
true democracy is.
