This is against the TOS of any poker site, so you are talking about someone cheating. And yes this kind of cheating has happened. The most famous example is the guy, who busted Victor Bloom "Isildur" after obtaining and analyzing hands, he had played against other players.

Now that being said Isildur could have protected himself with some bankroll management and by not continuing to play heads up against the same player, which he was losing to. And he could also have chosen to not play nose bleed stakes in a game, which was new to him (Omaha).

At the end of the day Isildur was playing in such an unbalanced way, that it was only a matter of time, because someone found ways to exploit him back with or without purchased hand histories.

Also as someone playing the micros, this is not really something, that concern me at all. If someone is willing to break the rules to obtain all my hand histories, be my guest. The fields in the micros are so huge, that someone doing this with all their opponents will have no time left to play.

Removing hand histories, as PartyPoker has done, does take away this option to cheat. But it create a whole array of other ways to cheat, which are in the end way more serious and problematic.
