This is a grey area. But there have been a few states that have made it illegal, but not many yet.

i do no longer have faith that's against the regulation. I did hear of a few city in manhattan featuring it, besides the fact that it wasn't enacted. Leaving it unsecured and having a neighbor pay 0.5 your invoice maximum possibly may well be. I certainly have heard of individuals being prosecuted for leaping on an unsecured WIFI community, yet no longer any incorrect way around. i'm going to declare this in spite of the indisputable fact that, safeguard IT. Your brat neighbor might desire to be illegally downloading music on it and then the RIAA shows up with a regulation healthful for you, for the reason which you paid for the relationship.

NO!!! Actually, when I got my laptop i thought the same thing. But when I looked over it through the FCC's website it stated that an unsecured WiFi access location such as "Linksys" or "Belkin" or "Netgear" is open to the public to use. The only way for you to illegally use a WiFi connection is if it has stated "Secured" and you gain access (somehow) anyway.

Probably not. There a few (very few) states that have made it illegal, but most have no laws past about it.
And the rule is, if the law doesn't say it's illegal, then it's legal.

Yes and no. If the person leaves their WIFI connection without a password then they are allowing othrs to use it. But legally it is wrong.
