NO... it's no type of crime whatsoever !
You are benefitting from a signal that your laptop is picking up- that is very different than hacking.
If they want, they can secure the wavelength- but it's their neglegence for not securing it.
Enjoy!

In WA state, it is perfectly legal as long as you do not do any thing illegal, such as hacking or looking at pornos. If your neighbors did not want you to access thier internet, it's thier fault for not taking the time to secure thier wireless connection.

It's not illegal to receive an unscrambled broadcast signal. They should protect their own network. It's simple to do. Until then enjoy.

definite. this is used as "theft of centers". you would be sued via your ISP. all and sundry to whom you provide that provider won't sign with the ISP for the provider. so they are dropping the money on an identical time as your buddies have become the provider. they'd sue you (and your buddies) for that.

Well, yes, it is illegal... You're taking bandwidth away from them and they are paying for it.
