And at the bottom of the article you quoted, was the statement -
"many users are not aware that using other networks is against the law."
Not much ambiguity about that statement, methinks.....  |

I think these statements illustrate quite well the reason behind my queries, as you are basically saying "the law says it is wrong, therefore it is wrong", and I wanted to explore this in a bit of depth. Many people simply accept the laws made by government without question. This is a good thing from a policeman's (and politician's) point of view, but bad for debate on a discussion forum.
