[QUOTE="rolfw, post: 423046, member: 175057"] Yet another bunch of specious arguments to attempt to justify theft. If a shop keeper displays his goods outside, is it OK for you to simply take them? Is it OK to take food from the adjoining table in a restaurant if they temporarily leave the table unattended? If your neighbour leaves his door open, I suppose you just wander in and use his bathroom or kitchen, or watch his TV. I'm sure your cable provider doesn't transmit the channels unencrypted, you use other means to view them and that is illegal. If you use someone else's broadband connection without permission, it is theft, you are using their bandwidth and they may even be capped, so you could be costing them extra money. Unfortunately a lot of the general public are naive regarding internet security and don't realise that they need to protect themselves from idiots, they wouldn't dream of leaving their front door open overnight. For the guy stealing internet bandwidth, it is only a small step to infiltrating home networks and damaging people's data, or perhaps even stealing it for personal gain. [/QUOTE]
