Sharing an internet connection against your ISP's AUP/TOS *is*
illegal. It is Theft Of Services. Depending on the jurisdiction and
the $-loss claimed by the ISP, it could even be a felony - chargable
to both the you (depending on your involvement) and the person doing
the stealing.

Is it illegal if I'm visiting a person and log on with my PowerBook?
Or if 2 unrelated persons are sharing an apartment, is it illegal for
both to utilize the service?
Seems like a gray legal area.
