Is Stealing Wireless Wrong?

So first, it's so cool that blogger allows you to type in Hindi (using English characters) and be able to post in Hindi. My previous post is more or less the amount of Hindi that I can speak!

So, I stumbled across this article on BBC about stealing wireless connections. Having myself been participant to many such an occasion, it's certainly an interesting moral debate. I found this reader response in particular very funny:

The rich neighbor found his poor neighbor salivating outside of his kitchen window from the aroma of his food. The rich neighbor demanded payment for the smell of the food. The poor neighbor took some coins from his pocket and said: "I'll pay for the smell of your food with the sound of counting my money".

Exactly! Why should it be illegal to use something that invades your space? Throw some apples into my balcony and I'll take them!
