No, its identity theft, at least I think it is, if this refers to issues like this.
@13, no, because by the time that information has been publicly released, the data has usually been changed, or I can't use it to identify anyone. E.g.: I can download a list of millions of passwords, which are the top 1 million list of most used passwords, but I can't actually use that list to then know that you use that password without trying to hack you first. If I just have your email address but not your name and other identifying information, I can't use your email alone to identify you either. That's what protects those websites. They don't hold any actual information that could actually tell people who you really are. But if the leak contains first and last names, usernames, email addresses, phone numbers, or other information -- e.g.: street address and such, then that is information that can be used to identify you, and so to hold that information without the permission of those who entered the information into FB to begin with is illegal.
Note: this is pure extrapolation based on the above source, as well as this one. I might not be correct, though. If, however, those two sources do include these kinds of things (digital data breaches), then I'm probably right. Though I'd love confirmation by a lawyer lol. But I'm pretty positive this violates many privacy laws just by possessing the information.
