Screen Cheating

I, too, was unfamiliar with this term. But it does have an analogue: Looking at your opponents cards in a card game. This, common sense would say, is illegal--but is that written down in the rules of each card game? Or is it accepted, without explicit statement, as part of our social contract with other civilized peoples? . . . A more "gray area" would be analogous to "talking across the table" in a card game.
