Please think twice before accusing someone of being a criminal (or planning criminal activity) in writing and in public. Such is actionable.
You could use the term 'illicit' fine. Technically you could also use the term 'unlawful', but I suggest you don't as it could be misleading since many people will not understand this term does not imply a breach of criminal law.
I hope that helps with future discussions on this forum.

I said acting illegally as that would imply gaining services through criminal means such as a third party device connecting to the Virgin Media network, that is not illicit as it is not contraband, the use of a third party device to gain free services is theft which is a criminal act.
