If someone winds up losing money (or suffering other damages) 
because of it, it is at least a tort.  If you were planning 
some kind of money-making scam that hinged on the deception, 
I'm pretty sure it would be fraud as well.  

I wonder whether evidence from logfiles could be excluded in 
a court case on the grounds that the logfiles were collected 
under false pretenses?  *That* would be a laugh riot... 

        (I am not a lawyer, nor studying to become one - 
         these are just my opinions.)
