Hmm.. as far as I know (I think) (from a recent court case), having
some one else's login/password without their permission, is considered
as forgery, as you are copying details onto your own computer of
documents (settings) that don't belong to you.

Its kinda like you can't get anyone for any electronic laws, but there
are many other laws such as when someone joins up with an ISP under
false details and don't pay is considered as "obtaining credit with the
intent to fraud", which is easily charged against someone if they do it.

But this is getting OT!

Thanks
