All secondary sales of service accounts or invites which employ a database and bandwidth should be observed as illegal unless explicitly permitted by the site owner. Failing to ban secondary sales of service accounts opens the site and staff to criminal and civil liability for facilitating illegal transactions. Secondary sales refers to sales in an underlying market, which is not the same as a primary market of first availability (site owner).
But they aren't illegal, contract law is a civil matter. So far what you're doing could be "illegal", i.e. a threat.
I have not threatened anyone. I have however bought to light the criminal and civil liability that exists from ignoring transactions of illegal sales, which so far appears to be what the staff here is advocating for.

Article 2 – Illegal access
Each Party shall adopt such legislative and other measures as may be necessary to establish as criminal offences under its domestic law, when committed intentionally, the access to the whole or any part of a computer system without right. A Party may require that the offence be committed by infringing security measures, with the intent of obtaining computer data or other dishonest intent, or in relation to a computer system that is connected to another computer system.

Could care less about ToS. It's a load of crap and won't hold in court.
You need to prove two things at the same time, that the website was hacked AND it was used for a dishonest intent. The ball lies in your court,
Here is a definition of dishonesty: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dishonesty
Actually prosecutions of computer fraud, access fraud, and theft of service does routinely hold up in court. Unauthorized distribution or sales of access codes do result in jail time. I already posted proof the previous thread and you'll find that most first world nations and even third world nations contain laws covering this activity. Invites are access codes which if shared in an unauthorized manner are considered illegal access. It's no different then providing login credentials. If you want to believe something else, you're free to do so, but laws in most nations state otherwise.
