You may have all sorts of "rights." But expectations are a different matter. If you drive your car to NY, and park it in Manhattan, and leave the doors unlocked and your key in the ignition, you have the "right" to not have your car stolen if you leave it legally parked for a week. But you are a fucking moron if you expect it to be there when you return a week later.
The same idea applies to actions online. You may have all sorts of "rights," but the reality is you have no real privacy online. Just like your car is not safe if you leave it parked in a big city with the doors unlocked and the key in the ignition and leave it for a week in a legal parking spot on the street.
As for the Ashly Madison site, who has said that hacking it is, or even should be, legal? I do not recall reading any posts making such a claim. The reality is, sites get hacked. That influences the decisions that people make when they do things online. At least, it influences decisions of people who do not have shit for brains.
