Isn't it technically illegal for someone to hang a mattress out of a window? Don't hear of many arrests for that crime.

You logging in to your neighbours connection to 'check the footie scores' is no different to someone parked in the street looking for a connection to make use of for free.

Stick to your own net connection.
