Question

Answer 1

It is illegal to use other peoples internet without their permission. However it is very hard to get caught... but none the less it is illegal.

Answer 2

Hi

it's not illegal. It's up to your neighbors who whoever it is to make ie secure with  a WEP. Otherwise, enjoy it. Space is free and doesn't belong to anybody.

Answer 3

i wouldn't worry about it per se. If the wireless network is unprotected you can always just say " uh, my computer automatically connects, I guess I didnt know it was on the wrong network."  Generally if a person is running an unprotected network, they are usually too ignorant to know if anyone was using it, but just make sure you dont have your "shared files" on, or they could get proof by browsing your shared files and finding pictures of you or stuff like that

Answer 4

it is NOT illegal. if the said user did not intend for others to use it, then the said user would have an encryption lock on the wireless signal.

Thus it can be argued that the said user that does NOT have a password to access their wireless signal, has intended others to use it.

Answer 5
