Okay, just to be clear and precise: You agree that the definition of
abuse is:

"The non sanctioned use of a resource to infringe upon the usage rights
of another resource"

As you are now discussing what "use" means - so using a resource
obtained by fraudulent methods / fake information - you are happy with
just the actual act of obtaining a resource is not abuse?
