Re: Stupid stupid stupid.... I think that's what he meant when he said Lowe's was wrong.
A better analogy would be, is it wrong if your friend gives you a key to his house so you can feed his cats while he's on vacation, and you just leave his door unlocked? Theres a huge difference between being careless with your own stuff, and being careless with other peoples things.

Savannah, GA | I think an even better comparison would be saying that wardriving and stealing CC#s is like leaving your door unlocked and someone stealing your TV, and wardriving and stealing bandwidth is like leaving your door unlocked and coming home to find someone else watching your TV. |

That's a good comparison, although even stealing bandwidth can be harmful -- i.e. ISPs who have explicit caps, or implicit caps like Comcrap, or even the crazy FAP "funnel system" used by DirecWay.
I agree that stealing bandwidth is less detrimental, but it should still be considered a crime. It's no different to me than the "door unlocked/robbery" comparison.
