Stealing WiFi

I'm sure stealing Internet is wrong ad maybe even immoral, and
sometimes I feel like a hippocrate robin hood.
Me and my family haven't been able to afford Internet this summer so
it was cut.
Recently my brother was with his iPhone in the backyard and discovered
some free unprotected wifi. iTunes does a library sharing thing and we
saw what the dude named his iTunes library. His name k course. We
looked him up in the yellow pages and there he was. Our neighbor who's
backyard faces ours was feeding us wifi.
The problem is that the wifi doesn't reach indoors so we had to put
Jesse's mac mini outside with a long cable. This lasted for a while
until it got really annoying so I went to J&R music world by WTC and
bought a wifi/Ethernet bridge. I wrapped it with some plastic to
weather-proof it and voilà; free Internet for the whole house.

Suckers.

I hate that I have to go to J&R in NYC cuz there's no circuit city or
best buy at the mall. I HATE that. You would think that Downtown
Jersey City with all these rich white ppl would have an electronics
store besides tiny-limited-garbageous-prices Radioshack.
I'm gonna stop complaining cuz I live right by the PATH and WTC is
literally two stops away. I walk a total of 5 blocks to get to J&R.

Anyway so that's that. Stealing Internet is a crime but I am having
trouble feeling bad about it.

Lemme know wuchu think.

im not gonna lie bloggin is just a tad gay, on the other hand dont think about it as stealing that guy wants to share his wifi so he didnt put a password on it, how nice of him, if only there were more people like him the world would be a better place

Is it really stealing if the signals is in your backyard, on your PRIVATE property? not really! So technically, it isn't stealing. Joha has a point, if he doesn't secure his network, then he is SHARING his network. If he secures his network and you HACK in, then that's stealing.

that's funny how you water-proofed the adapter...ha ha! :p
