IANAL, but: Look up the "California Internet Trespass Law" for a start. Among other things, anyone tampering with data on a network faces a criminal conviction. Also, check out point from the state of Arizona: http://www.azleg.state.az.us/ars/13/02316.htm http://www.azleg.state.az.us/ars/13/02316.htm "Accessing, altering, damaging or destroying any computer, computer system or network, or any part of a computer, computer system or network, with the intent to devise or execute any scheme or artifice to defraud or deceive, or to control property or services by means of false or fraudulent pretenses, representations or promises." I think it would be safe to say this would be considered illegal in many places for a multitude of reasons.
