1. That means it is not data mining. Which involves breaking into installed encrypted or obfuscated files or by sniffing IP packets.
2. That also means there is no means to detect (without a felonious root kit in involved machines) the fact that the file was read.

EULA/TOS/CoC doesn't apply to what you said. This has been proven multiple times.
This is patently untrue. There are fight playback tools that show detail down to every party member's and enemy's position at each fraction of a second of a fight. This is not information stored in any log; it's a clear case of someone accessing memory addresses or network packets that they shouldn't, and therefore a clear violation of the data mining clause.
