Okay. Now imagine he's doing it out on the public sidewalk and not using bar property. Would it be justified to use physical force and steal the clipboard owner's property?

What about this imaginary scenario has anything to do with OP scraping their college’s student directory to populate their rumor mill website?

Where did stealing property come from?

Also the guy with a clipboard is only showing those notes to a couple people at a time after they journey to his location, which makes a pretty big difference for the amount of disruption. There's no magical thinking about the internet being special. The social norms are different because the situation is so different.

They stole his phone using physical violence. It's in the article. I'll quote it for you.

>So i was like chill out bro, ill just delete the video, but the dean said, "no confiscate his phone". so one of the guards just snatched the phone from my hand the dean said wipe everything, and dont give him his phone back. I was like wtf is happening? bro I have my private photos on there dont do this. like you cannot do this. I tried reaching for my phone but one of the security guys just held me. and started being rough with me. like pushing me around and shit.

		That wasn't really because of the website though. The meeting could have been about basically anything and grabbing the phone for recording could have happened. It was bad but let's not mix up the two situations.

		But it didn't work on him; his parents are in the army. > I knew the police can't really tell me to do anyhting, and my parents are in the army too so intimidation obv wont work. So what are you complaining about?
