Re: QuickPwn It! Theft of Service would be if you paid nothing, and used the service, such as tapping into your neighbors cable TV and not paying anybody.
Using a service you are already paying for, on a device you already own, and routing it to another device using software you install on the device you own may be against their silly Terms of Service, but that's about as silly as Comcast trying to tell people that using a home router is against their TOS and you can only hook 1 computer to your cable modem. Yes, Comcast HAS tried that in my area, and some people paid an extra $10/month per computer for the privilege of using a router they own to have two computers they own both online, while others just used a router anyway, breaking the ToS.
Personally, ToS that try to limit what software you install on devices you own, along with ToS that try to limit things like what specific websites you can visit, are probably entirely unenforceable. You pay for 5GB/month on the device, use it on the device or pass it through the device however you see fit. |
