Get down off your high horse, your attitude sometimes lets the Dominicans down, the op was asking a genuine question.

Sorry, but I can't get down from my high horse, because I don't have one, and I also happen to be afraid of horses, riding them that is. I have no doubts that the OP was asking a genuine question, however, his question provoked in me genuine amusement. Are you suggesting I should apologize? did the OP feel offended? did you? Also, you should be aware by now that I'm not your ordinary, exemplary Dominican. Actually, I'm considered quite eccentric, to say the least...

High Horses.
Well now.
I'm on my high horse and I have no intention of getting down.
I agree with Robert.
I call it stealing.

I think you misunderstood my post or maybe the way I put it. I dont agree with the poster that is why I answered Mirador critising the morals of those that gringos that objected to the stealing. My heading read - there is nothing wrong in having principles

Definitely stealing, not just from the service provider (owner), but from all bonafide subscribers, by reducing the bandwidth which they are paying for. Those caught should be thrown in the slammer, three years minimum, plus made to pay a hefty fine. That'll show them!!!

Ladybird, I think you misunderstood my own post. The immorality and illegality of it is so blatantly obvious, that to even mention it is foolish. You should have noticed that my remark was oozing with sarcasm.

Honestly, I wasn't putting you down! I was complimenting your creativity, how methodical your trend of thought is, etc.. that was the reason I suggested you used those skills in government. No hard feelings.

to whom it may concern
If you connect to a wifi that as been left open, successful prosecution would impossible since the owner of the router willingly broadcast his signal open to anybody that can receive it. He doesn't attempt to lock it so it is normal to believe he is willing to share it. It's like leaving my ball in a public park so other kids can play with it. If i don't want nobody to touch it then I must lock it in my house.I leave my router open 95% of the time because it cost me nothing to share my service and i'm willing to help others. All routers can be locked, if the owner of the router doesn't wish to share hes connection then he must make it public by locking it. On the other hand if you connect to a router with a network key without permission then you are breaking the law and can be prosecuted. I encourage people to share when they can, i mean didn't your mom's tell u it's ok to share your toys when your not playing with them?
