You open another argument: Wouldn’t it be legal to snoop on all of your neighbor’s traffic if he’s using your WiFi without your permission? After all, you have no agreement with him, and you are only sniffing traffic on your own personal network.

It's perfectly legal to sniff packets traveling across your network (regardless of whether unauthorized nodes are connected) just like it's legal to have a guard dog tied up in the yard or hire a security service to monitor your house.

Is it legally or morally ok, therefore, to send viruses to the computers stealing/sharing the bandwidth?
