Touching the FT semi-circle puts the player within the area allowed for the free-thrower.
Perhaps someone can phrase it more smoothly in a single sentence, but that is the gist of it.

From the time that the ball is at the disposal of a free-thrower until the free throw restrictions end, no player may legally step on the the 3-point line or on any line within the 3-point line.
I think that defines all free throw violations concerning the lines.
