Actionable != illegal. The big difference is that you could walk into
a police station and tell them that you broke a contract or terms of
service, and they'd tell you to have a nice day. Likewise, copyright
infringement is a civil matter, not a criminal one. The police do not
pursue the matter, the allegedly infringed party does.
