Do your neighbors know you are stealing their wireless?
Is it truly stealing if the AP is not secured?
Legally? Yes. Most of the rulings have gone that way. This is
similar to an unlocked house. An unlocked front door does not mean
you can cart off everything inside.
Come to think of it, I think the analogy would better fit some transient
(living in some nearby cubbyhole) using the spigot on the side of your
house to drink from and to wash his hands and face every now and again
(assuming you would not have to pay more for the extra water). Assuming
that you are not taking a nice warm shower at the time, what's the harm?
Prolly not "stealing" and more "using without permission" which is a
little more inline with the above analogy.
Though the transient has to trespass to use the spigot, and the WiFi
"thief" doesn't have to.
