'...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.
