Re: Stupid stupid stupid....

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.

now thats a good analogy.. what comes to mind is that movie half-baked "the guy" on the couch lol. But some fat dude sitting on your couch one of your beer's in his hand. And then watching him eat your food. haha.. now thats funny.

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.
