wireless use of other peoples bandwidth is legal?

[ilw]

I only commented because I thought what peerzy said was misleading, an ip address on a router tells you nothing.
A mac address would be hard to trace back to a person.

not really...dont you remember the story of the guy who sat outside of someones house who had wireless internet access (in his grey van) and then got caught and was fined and jailed.
But, ask in your apartment, you could probably share with him...if he says no, then f*** him and steal his internet.
(i would say just do it anyways right now probly an old couple...)

That's like stalking though.

If someone's neighbor has a fast connection and it's not secure, use that shit.

Just don't sit in front of their house.

ahhaha, yeah i would do soo too...or i would have one computer be uploading constantly for torrents (on his connection) then one on mine...i should do that...always nice connections around here

Currently, 6 wireless connections show up. Of the 6, three has good signal and are unencrypted and I turn on my other 2 laptops, both of which has 802.11g cards on them, and download away. I'm never hitting my 30GB bandwidth cap again! Yay!

Oh btw, one of the connections doesnt even have a router password, so if one day I feel really vicious I might even change the router pswd so the poor bastard won't even be able to log on

I would like to take this opportunity to thank whoever it is that has an unsecured wireless connection near my girlfriend's house for six months of quality wireless connection. Cheers mate.

Quality connection?

If you ask then you have a better chance that they will let you use it.
If they find out you're using it without asking then they'll surely turn on encryption to block you.


Do the right thing.

Its funny coming from a Filesharing guy like me but that almost seems like theft stealing bandwidth from your neighbour . Mind you any "Good neighbour"
would invite himself over and fix the said settings over a beer or coffee .

Well... if its unused bandwidth then ur doing them a favor by making sure they are getting the most out of their money.. No point in trashing extra monthly bandwidth
