Magic could also be a lot like modern-day hacking–it's possible to use it for your own means, but in modern society it is most definitely illegal. That doesn't stop people from doing it, though, which is why firewalls and proxy servers exist. Of course, there are times when code slicing is highly "appropriate" from the government's perspective, eg when they are the ones doing it for intelligence/counterintelligence purposes.

Teleportation spells could be a lot like hacking into a server–if it's a home computer that's fairly low security, there's not much to stop you. But, if you try to hack into a secure server and get caught, the proper authorities are notified and you're in some trouble. So, most keeps would have at least rudimentary protection against teleportation, given its prevalence in Elements of Magic. And you wouldn't get away with just flinging spells around wantonly, either
