If an organisation were to employ persons to hack into their own systems for the purpose of identifying security holes, or a company were contracted to carry out the same procedure on behalf of a company. with the intent of making that companies systems more secure then it should not be illegal. but anyone who hacks into a system uninvited should be classed as having commited a crime. with regard to spammers I believe that sending spam is equivalent to Invasion of privacy and may be a contravention of the human rights legislation. as most spam comes from america one may have to sue individuals or companies and the ISP's to bring it to an end. The question of spyware benign or not and cookies should also be addressed.
