    We're talking about Wi-Fi, not water on a street. Firstly, there is a wall between you too, and a router is something the neighbour owns and they cannot control how far the distance goes while with a spinkler, you can "/ That is the major flaw with that argument.

    It is stealing, using someones internet connection. They paid for that money and they cannot control how far it stretches out. You're just using this opportunity for a free connection while you could just get your own so you could stop being stingey?

    You're not only borrowing your neighbor's internet connection, you're entering into their entire network and even if you're the most computer-illiterate person in the world, your presence in their network is not wanted. The example you used was very poor. Water is not the same as data, which if not careful, can pose a danger to the original owners depending on the content you're accessing. Second, the 'bucket' used to collect the water cannot be tracked down, so if in your example the neighbor wanted to press charges against the water thieves, they'd be out of luck because you cannot track down buckets. However, devices that connect to the Internet all have their own personal MAC address, which makes tracking down devices a very easy process. The origin of the water in your example also does not keep track of devices that have accessed water from it, however, a router always keeps a log of the MAC address and IP Address assigned of every device that has ever connected to it unless reset by the owner. So you see, its much more complex than 'water thrown in your property'. In fact, many major cell phone companies are trespassing my property with their networks. Does that give me a right to bypass their protocols in order to gain access to their services free of charge that, by your logic, belong to me? No, it doesn't. I have to pay for it, just like everyone else. Point being, unless you asked the person to use their wireless connection or you bought your own personal wireless router, you shouldn't complain that the signal is too low.
