Copy Cat's use of a bot to continually comb through Deals Galore Company's website without permission constitutes trespass to personal property as it involves a physical intrusion into the company's servers or web hosting platform. The court's decision in Register.com, Inc. v. Verio, Inc. established that unauthorized and automated access to a website can be considered trespass to personal property, even if no physical damage or harm is done.
