---- Violating TOS now legally the same as hacking

Wow talk about a stretch,

This is like if you used fake id to get into a bar and were charged with "break and entering"

I could see maybe a trespassing charge but "hacking" should mean that you circumvented some type of security measure not that you entered a site on false pretenses.

I could see it as fraud maybe but this is an agreement between a site and a user, sometimes even a customer and a vendor, if I agree to change my oil every 3 months as part of my terms of service with my car lease and I fail to do that it is a civil matter I am not going to be charge with theft of a vehicle... am I?
