...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.

It basically gives them the tool to sue the pants off off offenders in addition to whatever criminal sanctions are imposed.

However. Aren't these acts already covered in criminal/civil law? Impersonation, scamming, or "intentionally spreading inaccurate information" (i.e. slander/libel) are criminal/civil offenses already. Do they really need to repeat this in the AUP? It seems unnecessary if that is their concern.
