:...Aren't these acts already covered in criminal law? Impersonation, scamming, or "intentionally spreading inaccurate information" (i.e. slander/libel) are criminal offenses already. Do they really need to repeat this in the AUP? It seems unnecessary if that is their concern.
I'm no law expert, but I imagine that the reason they feel it is necessary is because criminal punishments resulting from law violations would differ greatly from civil penalties incurred from a lawsuit brought by Verizon for breach of contract.
