If you lose your credit card and someone runs up thousands of dollars in charges, the credit card company sends you a bill... But you can at most be held responsible for $50.Which is a 'feature' of most credit cards, irrelevant to criminal law.
We're not talking about criminal law here, for the most part. We're talking about civil law. There are laws specific to credit cards and credit fraud that have absolutely no applicability to internet usage. I think we can generally agree that the internet looks much more like a utility than it looks like a revolving charge account.
