look at California Penal Code Section 502c which says in part:

"(2) Knowingly accesses and without permission takes, copies, or
makes use of any data from a computer, computer system, or computer
network, or takes or copies any supporting documentation, whether
existing or residing internal or external to a computer, computer
system, or computer network.
  (3) Knowingly and without permission uses or causes to be used
computer services."

That's a crime with some heavy max. penalties listed.

Fair winds and happy bytes, Dave Flory
