I guess it isn't illegal in the sense that the old bill aren't gonna pop round and chuck the silver bracelets on you, but in the sense that it is a punishable offence - again, given that a court order has been obtained and the appropriate charges filed with the courts etc... I can't see why the evidence wouldn't be submissable to a court of law, provided that they've logged their actions in a systematic way so as to prove beyond doubt... unless of course they can obtain physical access to your eqipment which would provide conclusive evidence? I would imagine that provided they can prove that they accessed files which were being shared with the rest of the world and that the source of the file rested upon your machine, then they'd have a damn strong case. It's all a matter of piecing together all of the bits of evidence and making a strong enough case.
