> Well, no, violating a binding legal agreement is illegal.

Not touching the rest of this thread's arguments, but that isn't really true. Breaking ToS, or any other contract, is not "illegal"-- it's not a crime. It opens you up to civil (not criminal) penalties if the other party sues, but that's it.

Illegal means not legal. Not criminal.
