Exactly. Let us say you break into a shop owned by some mafia to put out a fire, then you might be fine w.r.t. authority, but you might be in trouble w.r.t. criminals. Similarly, say you break a car window to pull out a pit-bull left alone in the sun, you might have some issues with the owner if he turns out to be part of some drug trafficking gang.
There is no reason to believe that phishing websites are run by script-kiddies, there are obviously criminal rings running all sorts of businesses on the Internet too. I would rather leave the work to the authorities rather than risk going through trouble with unknown criminals, just so that I could have my funny revenge over them.
