I do feel funny about it, but what is the legality ? That seems to be
a murky question and from searching the web you get conflicting views,
some saying it's illegal, others saying it's perfectly legal. My
suspicion is that tens of thousands of people are borrowing other
people's WIFI without permission, and I've scarcely heard of any legal
action except a few cases. Perhaps the manufacturers in the future
will make that harder to do, or who knows ?
Guess if you ignore any legal aspects (which probably vary state by
state) it comes down to a moral issue...if you are so inclined.

I was sort of saying I wasn't sure what the legal issue was exactly
and that it seemed hard to figure out.

The other individual has paid to have the service, you have not. Just
because the individual is not educated thoroughly in how to secure the
system does that mean it is "free game" for anyone who wants to use it?

No, but I might think of your approach as a capitalist based
approach, a socialist based approach might be in a futuristic
scenario, the hardware detects what users are on your router and if
they use a moderate bandwidth under some amount that the system would
allow for such, possibly credit you some amount of money and charge
them some modest amount.


I suspect that since you have such a cavalier attitude (or call it
scofflaw attitude) toward this situation probably are not completely
honest in other situations!

I actually trespass all over the place walking across farmland in
search of fresh air and excercise along with deer, birds and other
wild animals against landowners knowledge ..
A clear threat to national security.

And probably bitch at kids who would play football in your yard or expect them not to climb your backyard fence.

With that double standard, I would suspect you vote for Democrats.
