Except if you bypassed payment and used the service in a manner that was not intended, most likely you were by definition not undertaking "strict adherance" to service terms ?
For all intents and purposes it is the country of registration of the aircraft.
There are one or two exceptions to the rule, but they would not be applicable in this scenario. Mostly stuff relating to air safety. For example, if the aircraft did something against the aviaition laws of the country being overflown. Or hijackings etc.
Huh ?
DNS tunneling is not exaclty something you do "by accident".
And if the person doing it on the flight "did not know" (which, given the text of the blog, I doubt) , then you can bet your botom dollar that the "roommate" that was summoned for remote assistance knew very well what was going on.
I don't know the age of the author, but it almost doesn't matter, sometimes people don't know (lack of knowledge).
Well, being pedantic, you could be said to be breaking Civil Law. :)
Jest aside, IANAL but most western countries have some sort of Criminal Law relating to mis-use of computers.
A brief search for Canada reveals Criminal Code (R.S.C., 1985, c. C-46)[1].
Again IANAL, but from my reading in this scenario it would be (c) -> (a), "uses or causes to be used ... a computer system" to "obtains, directly or indirectly, any computer service".

IIRC the way it works is that when you land (destination or forced landing elsewhere) the offender is delivered to the local competent authorities.
They then undertake an initial investigation and decide either to exercise their own jurisdiction or undertake extradition proceedings to send the offender to the country of registration of the aircraft.
In a scenario of (attempted)murder, I suspect that it is highly likely it would be dealt with in the local courts unless there was a specific external push for extradition.
The point of the convention is to ensure there is never no jurisdiction, i.e. the country of registration to the aircraft is always there as the ultimate fallback. The wording doesn't seek to strictly define the jurisdiction, which is why in most cases the delivery country has the option to take jurisdiction.

A few kids doesnt matter. A few adults is only a problem if it's their stuff (If they are teachers, they will care more about unautorized changes of the wallpaper in the computer of the school that anything in a remote computer.) And yuo can even later claim they misunderstood or you were exagerating.
But here is an in written report in front of thousands of persons and about planes that is a sensitive topic.
The user agreement helps define the service as a paid service with defined access cases. Going around those would put the user in violation of some laws.
An analogy would be showing up to a paid event venue and noticing a back door was left open. Going into the building without paying is not okay, even though you never engaged with the ticket office to agree to anything.
This may be the dumbest write up I have ever read.
