If you did it, it wouldn't be called "used illegally" it would be given its more traditional name of "stealing."
I'm going to try this when on trial for shoplifting. "No. I didn't steal it. You see, I never actually claimed ownership over the item I took. I would have given it back if they asked. I was just using it illegally!"
Theft of services I believe has been historically accurate...
