I'm sure BK lawyers would argue that by having the TV running you're giving them write only audio access to the house.


But not authorized access to interact with the Google Home networked computer device.

If it were that easy, that same lawyer could argue that because you operate a public HTTP server, any "attacks" on it are simply using the implicit permission you provided by exposing port 80/443 to the internet and operating a public service on it.


And hopefully any court would treat that argument with the contempt it deserves.

By having burgers on the shelf in their burger-joint BK are giving me implicit permission to take them for free. They let me in the door after all. /s
