i can only understand this if you saturdate the bandwidth, leaving none for the neighbor. but the neighbor did pay for it... who is to say their intention wasn't to give free access to his neighbors at his own expense?

of coruse.. it just boils down to the fact that the ISP wants to charge you for another account, since they cannot charge neighbor for MB used (since that wouldn't fly)
Or the fact that theres many cases of people 'wardriving' and then downloading kiddy porn, or hacking.
THAT is what the law is trying to prevent. Furthermore its more like you plugging in an extension cord to you neighbors house without him knowing it >.<
