Is searching through someone's mobile phone without permission illegal?

In some cases, it may theoretically violate the Digital Millenium Copyright act in the U.S, and may also fall under relevant corporate espionage statutes in other places.
However, for the most part it is unlikely that any prosecutor will be interested in a case where one private citizen snoops through the phone of another. Perhaps the best answer is "Sometimes it's illegal, but not enough to really matter".

Is it illegal to snoop through someones computer files if given permission to use the computer for something else?
Snooping is not a crime, although it is frowned upon. There are exceptions to this though. 1. The file is in a lock box or other file protecting bin 2. The file is classified, or disclosed by the government. 3. You sign a contract stating specifically that you will not view anything other than what you sign for. 4. It is legally protected and, if, or patented with viewing rights reserved. My guess is that you were just asking if snooping on something personal and not in anyway. i.e an online diary. No that is not illegal, but is not recommended if you ever want to get permission to use the computer again.

It is important to ensure that any content accessed through p2p4u is legal and properly licensed.
