Hallo Arelor,

Absolutely true.
But I guess it depends on how likely it is to get caught and what the  
fines are...

Oh, okay o.O I haven't thought about that yet. But it sounds like  
something out of the GDPR :)
So in theory, if I buy something and enter some else's address as the  
delivery address, that could be illegal?!
