Me and my dad have had this argument a few times and I want you guys to help me settle it.
Before I had wireless internet at my house I used a Wifi signal I got from behind my house across the alley. My dad kept telling me it wasn't legal and said it was. The signal had no security on it. No WEP or anything. No encryption whatsoever. So tell me was me using that signal legal or not?
Thanks.  |
