Full disclosure in abuse is not necessarily equivalent to full 
disclosure in -suspected- abuse. The earlier comments in this thread 
were more or less demands for disclosure when the vendor had not yet 
been able to speak with the customer to determine if there was indeed 
abuse and if it was intentional.

I suppose theoretically that a ToS could be crafted that would allow the 
vendor to release customer information in the case of ANY suspected 
abuse, but do you really think that would make a difference to "The Bad 
Guys"?
