To be clear: I agree it was hacking. I'm saying that aside from the IP theft angle, this kind of hacking doesn't usually get heavy handed consequences for individuals. AFAIK, the individual involved was not prosecuted criminally. I used to work at Ticketmaster. I don't anymore and I didn't at the time of the incident, so it didn't seem relevant to the discussion.
