Damn right it does.  These are things I'm forced to do to protect my
property from _criminals_.  Whether I do them or not, the acts they are
meant to prevent are still _criminal acts_. (The fact that I foolishly
left my keys in my car does not give anyone the right to get in and drive
off, or even sleep in the back seat).

Likewise for computer files.
