In some tournaments, using a computer to analyze your games is not allowed (altough I can not see a way to enforce it); in some others you have to tell the tournament director in advance, and state if the computer will be choosing the moves or if you will only use its analysis to help you choose your moves. I do not know about other organizations. I think that checking databases has always been allowed everywhere. I do not know if it is ethically wrong or right to use a computer to analyze your games and choose your moves, I simply see no point in it. For me, that would take the fun out of the game (and besides, I can play far stronger at that time controls).
