Relationship with God is like a person. He's going to look at you with disgust. He's not going to be your friend and love you.

5 Then Jesus said to them, “Suppose you have a friend, and you go to him at midnight and say, ‘Friend, lend me three loaves of bread; 6 a friend of mine on a journey has come to me, and I have no food to offer him.’ 7 And suppose the one inside answers, ‘Don’t bother me. The door is already locked, and my children and I are in bed. I can’t get up and give you anything.’ 8 I tell you, even though he will not get up and give you the bread because of friendship, yet because of your shameless audacity[e] he will surely get up and give you as much as you need.

#3IANAL, but surely violating Terms of Use is essentially a breach of contract? Making breach of contract a crime would be very foolish indeed.

#4Does anyone know the details of what was being automatically downloaded? I'm aware of several Open Source projects doing this with things like Java, but not if any of them have received cease and desist orders.

It's true what they say. The justice system are defending our rights until we talk about digital media, software and the Internet, at which point they have a complete blind spot.

Yes and no.
The argument that it is a crime comes down to arguments around what constitutes 'unauthorised access'.
As 'unauthorised access' to a computer system is a crime, if you make your definition of 'authorised' "access subject to our terms of use" : Huzzah! Violating your terms of use is now a crime!
This all comes back to laws written in wooly "the courts will work it out" language.

Nothing? Facebook is not a passport, you can be called whoever you want on it.

They'd be taken out behind the chemical sheds... and shot.
