Private corporations are not legislatures. If you are an invited guest to my house and I say it's not ok to drink wine out of a shot glass, and instead you must always drink from a wine glass when in my house, and you do it, that's not a felony. If the family album is on the couch and I give it to you and say you can look at it, but don't look at the last two pages which have the pictures of the wife nude and you do that, that's not a felony.

You could, in both cases, theoretically argue that it's a trespass to chattels and get nominal damages, but that's a civil matter.
