Es como si entraras a la casa de alguien y empezaras a usar su teléfono para llamar a tus amigos sin que te dejen. Eso no está bien.

Ejemplo Práctico

Imagina que Juan trabaja en una oficina y decide usar un programa en la computadora de su jefe para enviar correos a personas que no deberían recibirlos. Esto podría causarle problemas, porque no tenía autorización para hacerlo.
