Use of a Hacked Website

Question

Is it permissible to use hacked websites (without payment) owned by a non-Jew (such as music applications, etc.) not for livelihood purposes and the like? And what is the ruling regarding such websites owned by a Jew? (Is there a law of "Zuto shel Yam" in this case?)

Answer

Shalom Rav

If the site is owned by a Jew, it is prohibited.

If the site is owned by a non-Jew, leniency is allowed.
