If your friend asks you to run a Carfax report on a car and you agree to do so, that is stealing.

Suggestion
Because running a VIN report on a Cadillac won't help you much if you are buying a Porsche!

Just doesn't seem to be an issue over there, as many Caddy dealers seem happy to use their Carfax accounts to help out paying members.
Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

This is a sticky thread over on the CTS-V forum. Thought it was funny how different the rules are from that forum to this one. Just doesn't seem to be an issue over there, as many Caddy dealers seem happy to use their Carfax accounts to help out paying members.
Why can't we do that here? Please explain!!!

That's not a Carfax account,that's something else. It's much more detailed than a Carfax. Possibly a dealership info lookup database?
Anyone know what it is?
How is it stealing if it is an unlimited account? I can go get as many as I want, so what does it matter if somebody else sees it? If I decide not to buy a car that I checked out, but my friend decides he might want it, is it stealing if I give him the report I just ran? Should he really go run a new report on the same car? I don't think so.
Just my opinion. I'm sure there are plenty who disagree, and that's fine.
For the newbies around here he's the word from the Big Cahuna (John D)

and the thread in which he said it (when Gant was trolling last time)

The situation you outlined is not what ususally happens.
If your friend asks you to run a Carfax report on a car and you agree to do so, that is stealing. If he wanted the report, he should have to pay Carfax for it. If you ran the Carfax for him, he would avoid paying Carfax for the report.
If you have some computer software that your friend wants, do you let him load your copy on his PC or do you tell him to buy his own?
You're right. I guess I deserved that... It's just that I noticed the sticky thread there and thought, what a contrast. I guess Caddy owners have no morals and we're the moral police!
No, I'm serious. I forget the name of it, but it's on State Street. It's all you can eat for 1 hour. Any piece that you do not eat after ordering it costs $1. It's wonderful sushi and a great bargain. Believe me, I was totally stuffed when I left that place.
