Where does this common law come into play? It sounds like if you are not "licensed or privileged" then you are breaking the law.

I notice that there are many beautiful places on Governors island that never have anybody home. This year I will tie up my boat and pitch a tent. In fact we should have the forumfest at one of those places. If the owner or police show up we just move the party to the next mansion.

Somehow I don't think Skip's theory will actually work. It sounds like one of those "you don't need to pay takes because money isn't really legal tender" theories.

635:2 Criminal Trespass. – I. A person is guilty of criminal trespass if, knowing that he is not licensed or privileged to do so, he enters or remains in any place.
