According to a ZDNet article , Oracle is Suing SAP, alledging that they gained unauthorized access to Customer Connection and downloaded software and support articles.  SAP alledgedly used expired and soon to expire customer connection ID's to download 1,800 items per day for four days straight from their office in Bryan, TX.   All of the ID's belonged to TomorrowNow customers.

From the article:

Upon a review of the Customer Connection site, Oracle alleges that it found more than 10,000 illicit downloads in which customers with expired, or soon-to-expire, support and maintenance contracts had accessed the support and maintenance site. Oracle claims that one common thread among all of the customers with allegedly misappropriated customer IDs is that they were about to become, or had recently become, an SAP TomorrowNow customer.

I've always wondered how TomorrowNow was able to fix bugs and plug security holes in PeopleTools binaries with no access to the source code.  Maybe this explains it.
