nahh, that called wireless internet, and you seem to have a hot spot in your house, its that simple, just like some of the coffe shops have wi-fi and hotspots, my friend has on at her house, and there one somewhere over on my couch by the wall

My sister lives right across the street and if I go outside I can pick up her internet.

If they don't encode it then, to my knowledge, it's easy pickings.

your good for now..

my friend bought a macbook and thought he was the worlds biggest genuis until his neighbor found out, and then just password-protected it.

thats probobly what will happen, but my dad just bough a super-nice receriver thing, so he picks up wifi from the coffe shop a couple blocks away.

its the people who your nicking the connection off who are to blame, if its such a crime they should be more stringent with their internet protection.
