how is it illegal lets see your using a service and not paying for it. Its called (Theft of Services) but yes its also against their Terms of Service.
Well, having been someone that spent many years in company security for the cable business, and taking people that acted on theft of service, I think I'm pretty qualified to know what is and isn't theft of service.

To TAKE a service in which you didn't pay for, is theft of service. (Tapping into a feeder, or decoding a security item to gain access to services) This is taking a service that you didn't pay for. This is the type of people that we took to court and it was up to the district attorney to decide if criminal charges would be filed.

To use a service in against the requested desires of the provider, ie: hooking up a second device, route the data outside the TOS, or "tether service" that you already are allowed to use, is simply a violation of the TOS agreement and handled by a company initiated penalty. The big bad police aren't comin' to get you. This type of abuse was handled by disconnection, usually.

You have every right to believe what you'd like, but I'll go with what is actually correct.
