I think it's more like breach of contract. It's not necessarily unethical, but if you violate the terms, they no longer are bound to provide the service. EDIT

I think it's more like breach of contract. It's not necessarily unethical, but if you violate the terms, they no longer are bound to provide the service. EDIT: Although it's unclear whether a contract was really entered into. Real contracts have signatures to indicate both parties know and agree to what's contained. That's often not the case in web services.

I think EULA's are considered signed to some degree. I don't know how or if that reasoning extends to online TOS. I wouldn't be surprised to learn the courts are fairly liberal in what they consider a contract but don't give all contracts the same strength.
